What is Margin Mode?

When trading futures, there are two margin modes to choose.

Cross Mode

All positions share the margin in the futures account to avoid the position from being liquidated. In the event of a forced liquidation, the trader may lose all the margin and the position.

Isolated Mode

A certain amount of margin is assigned to a position. If a position margin falls below the maintenance margin level, the position will be subject to forced liquidation with no effect on other positions. In isolated mode, you can add or reduce margin to this position.
