The contract market is turbulent, and market changes happen without warning.
What can truly decide whether you survive to the next bull market may not be the market, but whether you are using **'full margin' or 'isolated margin'**.
——
1. Full margin mode: Put all eggs in one basket
Margin sharing, capital pool connection
Once a liquidation is triggered, all positions are affected
Suitable for experienced players with risk control experience and hedging needs
2. Isolated margin mode: Spread eggs across multiple baskets
Each trading pair independently calculates profit and loss
Triggering one does not affect others
More suitable for short-term, beginners, and users who prioritize risk control
