I bet that by the time you read this article, your account has already been taught a lesson by the market more than once.
But the real problem is not that the market is hard to predict, nor that you have bad luck, but that you simply don't understand: what is the difference between 'isolated margin' and 'cross margin' in futures!
⚔️ Cross margin mode is a harvesting machine for retail investors!
Don't talk about strategies, don't discuss techniques—
If you choose the wrong trading model, it’s like handing your life over to the market right from the start!
Have you operated like this too? 👇
• Open a long position with 500U, the account still has thousands of U
• When the market crashes, without a stop-loss, the account 'can still hold on'
• The rebound did not come, and the account exploded directly.
When the liquidation alert comes out, you are completely confused: I only lost one trade, how come it's all gone?!
This is cross margin: account balance = total margin, one wrong trade, everything goes to zero.
✅ Isolated margin mode is the only hope for ordinary people to survive.
If you open a position with 500U, if you use 'isolated margin', the maximum loss is only 500U.
Even if you make a wrong judgment, you won't be completely wiped out; your account will still have a chance to breathe.
You need to remember:
In the futures market, you are not here to be a prediction king; you are here to be a 'survivor' who stays alive!
🧠 So how to choose? It's simple:
👶 Newbies, just starting with futures, don't understand risk control → can only use isolated margin!
Don't think you can withstand it, that you can win the market by betting—
If it really crashes, without a stop-loss on cross margin, your account can be zeroed out in a second!
Isolated margin is the bottom line for newbies, allowing you not to be 'knocked down right after getting on board.'
🧠 Skilled players, with trading systems and strict discipline → can consider cross margin.
You need to have:
• The iron rule of stop-loss
• Position allocation ability
• The execution ability of not holding positions
Then you can increase your efficiency by using cross margin when the market is confirmed.
But it's only recommended to use a portion, don't go ALL IN on any single trade!
📌 Final summary: In the futures market, there is no luck, only rules.
What do you really want:
• Gambling once a day with a heart in your throat to double?
• Still steady and sure, can the account triple in three months?
Think clearly about this question before choosing a position model.
