2. Cross Margin Trading Mode

Advantages of Cross Margin:

• Shared margin across all positions reduces liquidation risk during market volatility.
• Enhances capital efficiency and lowers the need for margin top-ups.
• Losses in one position can be offset by profits in another, effectively managing overall risk.

When trading USDT Perpetual Contracts in Pro mode, select [Isolated] margin mode, adjust the leverage, set the margin, and open a position based on your market outlook.

Advantages of Isolated Margin:

• Losses are limited to the margin of the specific isolated position and do not affect other positions.
• Traders have better control over each position.
• Allows allocation of specific margin amounts per position based on individual risk preferences.

For more information, please refer to Margin Calculation Rules.

4. One-Way & Hedge Mode (Single vs. Dual Position Mode)

Whether using Cross or Isolated margin, traders can choose between One-Way Mode and Hedge Mode (also known as dual-position mode).The default position mode in USDT Perpetual Contract Pro is Hedge Mode.

To switch position mode, go to the top-right of the Contract Pro trading panel and click [Trading Settings].

Hedge Mode (Dual Position Mode):

• Allows traders to hold both long and short positions in the same contract simultaneously.
• Suitable for traders who are long-term bullish but short-term bearish on an asset.
• Enables quick shorting without affecting existing long positions.
  
  

One-Way Mode (Single Position Mode):

• Traders hold only one directional position (either long or short) per contract.
• Opposite positions offset each other, simplifying management and merging exposure.
