Margining

Margin Modes

RISEx supports both isolated margin and cross margin modes, giving you flexibility in how you manage risk across positions.

Cross Margin

In cross margin mode, your entire account balance is shared across all open positions.

How it works

• All positions share the same collateral pool
• Profits from one position can offset losses in another
• Higher capital efficiency for multi-position strategies
• Liquidation affects your entire account

Isolated Margin

In isolated margin mode, each position has its own dedicated collateral that's separate from your other positions.

How it works

• Each position has its own margin allocation
• Losses are limited to the margin assigned to that position
• Other positions are unaffected if one gets liquidated
• Lower capital efficiency but better risk isolation

Margin Requirements

Initial Margin

The minimum collateral required to open a position. Calculated as:

Initial Margin = Position Size × Entry Price × (1 / Leverage)

Maintenance Margin

The minimum collateral required to keep a position open. When your margin balance falls below maintenance margin, liquidation begins.

Maintenance Margin = Position Size × Mark Price × Maintenance Margin Rate

Switching Modes

You can switch between isolated and cross margin per position. Note that switching modes requires you to close any open position or limit order.
