Margin defines which funds back your position.
Isolated margin
• Only the margin assigned to that position is at risk.
• If it runs out, the position is liquidated.
• The rest of your balance is not affected.
• Recommended for beginners.
Cross margin
• Uses the entire available balance as backing.
• Reduces the probability of early liquidation.
• Increases the risk of losing more funds.
• Recommended for experienced traders.
Choosing the type of margin is a key decision in risk management.
