1. What is the Binance Portfolio Margin Mode?

Portfolio Margin is an advanced trading mode offered by Binance, designed for experienced traders who seek increased leverage and flexibility across various trading products. It incorporates a unique approach to margin calculations and risk management to offer a more comprehensive assessment of the trader's overall exposure.

Portfolio Margin allows traders to use multiple supported assets as collateral, increasing the overall flexibility of their trading strategies. You can trade with assets in your USDⓈ-M Futures, COIN-M Futures, and Cross Margin Wallets.

Please note:

Upon activating your Portfolio Margin account, all supported wallets will be automatically renamed as “Futures-PM Wallet” (including USDⓈ-M PM and COIN-M PM) and “Margin-PM Wallet”;
Assets in the Isolated Margin Wallet will not be accounted for in the Portfolio Margin collateral and the UniMMR calculations.

2. What are the benefits of trading with Portfolio Margin?

Some benefits of using Portfolio Margin include:

Cross-collateral support: You can use a wide range of assets as collateral under the Portfolio Margin mode to increase the overall flexibility of your trading strategies. Please refer to the Portfolio Margin collateral page for a complete list of the supported collaterals and their respective collateral ratios.
Improved operational efficiency: Portfolio Margin streamlines the trading process by unifying margin calculations and requirements across multiple trading products.
Enhanced portfolio management: By consolidating margin requirements and risk assessments, Portfolio Margin makes it easier to monitor and adjust positions according to market conditions.
Enhanced risk management: Portfolio Margin incorporates the uniMMR (Unified Maintenance Margin Requirement) calculation. It considers a trader's entire portfolio, offering a more comprehensive risk assessment by providing a clearer picture of the overall risk exposure across various assets.
Simplified trading process: Portfolio Margin simplifies the trading process by allowing traders to open and close positions within the Portfolio Margin account easily.
Margin check service (MCS): The MCS is a helpful tool for traders to determine if their current or planned positions will meet the required margin levels, so they can manage their risks more effectively.
