For those who still do not know how to differentiate between isolated and cross leverage.
Isolated leverage means that the money you use for a trade is limited to that particular trade. If something goes wrong and you lose, you only risk the amount you allocated to that specific trade. It's like having a separate compartment for each trade: what happens in one does not affect the others.
Cross leverage, on the other hand, uses all the available balance in your account to cover the losses of a trade. If the market moves against you, the system can take funds from your overall account to prevent the position from being liquidated. It's like having a single bag for all your trades: if something goes wrong, the entire bag may be at risk.
The key is risk control: isolated is safer if you want to limit losses, while cross gives you more flexibility, but also more risk. Is that clearer to you?
