Many people often ask me what the difference is between full margin and isolated margin, so I'll just explain directly.

What does the full margin mode mean? In simple terms, it means that all available funds in your account can be used as collateral, which greatly reduces the chance of forced liquidation. As long as you don't use too high leverage, the risk of liquidation is actually very low, so this mode is especially suitable for hedging.

Isolated margin different? Each position's margin is allocated independently and limited to a certain amount. Once the floating loss of that position exceeds its margin, it will be forcibly liquidated immediately. In situations with high volatility and high leverage, the isolated margin mode is indeed more prone to liquidation, but the advantage is that your losses are limited to that position’s margin and won't affect your entire account.

From the perspective of margin types, cross margin (also called cross collateral) shares a common margin pool for all positions, and the entire account balance can be used for support. Isolated margin (independent margin) means each position is independent and does not affect others.

In my opinion, the full margin mode is more suitable for institutions or experienced traders doing hedging. Isolated margin is more suitable for beginners because it can keep risks within a clear range, reducing psychological pressure. The specific choice still depends on your trading strategy and risk tolerance.
