Dear LBank Users,
 
To provide a better trading experience, LBank will officially launch Cross Margin Trading at 12:00 (UTC) on Sep 18, 2025.
 
This major launch introduces a powerful margin trading feature with a dedicated margin account, designed to isolate risk and manage user funds more securely. Through this account, users can perform cross margin trading with support for auto borrow and repay, unlocking greater capital efficiency and maximizing potential returns.
 
Under the Cross Margin mode, users can automatically borrow funds for trading, and all available assets in the cross margin account can be used as shared collateral across all positions. This significantly enhances capital utilization and helps minimize the risk of forced liquidation.

 

FAQ – Margin Trading

  1. Does margin trading incur fees?
Yes, margin trading involves transaction fees (same rates as spot trading accounts), interest, and forced liquidation fees.
 
  1. How is the risk ratio calculated?
Risk Ratio = Total Asset Value (i.e., Principal + Borrowed Amount) ÷ (Total Loan Value + Interest) × 100%
 
  1. How is interest on margin loans calculated?
Once borrowing occurs, interest calculation starts immediately. Interest is then calculated hourly based on the borrowed amount, and any period less than one hour is counted as a full hour. The system deducts interest based on your loan amount at the start of each hour. If no loan exists at the hour mark, no interest is deducted. For detailed interest rates, please refer to Loan Interest Information.
 
  1. How to borrow in cross margin trading? Which tokens are supported?
LBank’s cross margin product uses a new “Auto Borrow & Repay” model. When using this mode, borrowing is triggered automatically during trades. Any amount that exceeds your available balance in a buy/sell order will be borrowed. The first batch of supported assets includes USDT, BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, DOGE, PEPE, SUI, ADA, and TRX.
 
  1. What are the risks of margin trading?
Margin trading allows you to potentially gain higher profits with less capital. However, incorrect market direction can also amplify risks. Therefore, most users are advised to avoid using high leverage with large positions to prevent liquidation or even negative balances.
 
  1. How to reduce the margin risk ratio?
  • Set take-profit and stop-loss levels and close positions manually. Use OCO (One Cancels the Other) orders to set both a take-profit and stop-loss level. Once one is triggered, the other will be canceled automatically.
  • Add margin in time to ensure that the ratio of total assets to margin used stays above 110%.
