Futures Cross Margin Mode
In cross margin mode, your entire futures account balance is used as margin for all related positions. USDT-margined contracts share the same margin, while coin-margined contracts like ETH and BTC are settled in their own currencies. This maximizes the use of your account funds without the need for frequent transfers or position adjustments.
Higher Max Position Sizes
No Risk Limits, No Manual Adjustments
Better Fund Hedging for Increased Efficiency
Placing both buy and sell orders uses twice the margin, but opposing orders can offset each other, reducing the overall margin required.
Smooth Maintenance Margin Changes
Cross margin mode removes risk limits and tiers, allowing for smoother, more consistent adjustments to your maintenance margin ratio.
