2020-01-03 09:17

1. Go to the Futures trading interface and click [Cross] at the top-right.

2. A confirmation screen will appear. Select the margin mode of your choice and click [Confirm].

Please note:

  • Switching the margin mode will only apply to the selected contract.
  • Cross Margin Mode shares your margin balance across all open positions on the same type of assets, e.g., If you have selected Cross Margin Mode on BTCUSD Perpetual, the open positions of BTCUSD Perpetual share the margin balance of BTC only.

3. You can repeat the steps above to switch between the Cross Margin and Isolated Margin modes. Please make sure that you've selected the preferred margin mode before opening any orders or entering any positions.

Important notes:

  • All contracts and positions are defaulted to the Cross Margin mode;
  • Switching the margin mode will only apply to the selected contract;
  • Please make sure that you've selected the preferred margin mode before opening any orders or entering any positions;
  • You're not allowed to change the margin mode if you have any open orders or positions;
  • In the Cross Margin mode, your margin can only be shared with the same type of asset. For example, all USDC in the USDⓈ-M Futures Wallet can be used for all USDC-margined contracts, all BTC in the COIN-M Futures Wallet can be used for all BTC-based contracts (including perpetual and delivery).
