Cross margin

Cross margin lets multiple positions share one margin balance on 1024EX Predict.

Instead of assigning isolated collateral to each individual position, cross margin allows available account equity to support multiple open positions at the same time. This can improve capital efficiency, but it also means that losses from one position may affect the margin available for other positions.

What Is Cross Margin?

Cross margin is a margin mode where your available balance is shared across eligible positions.

On 1024EX Predict, this means your margin can be used more flexibly across different outcome markets. If one position requires additional margin, the system may use available equity from the shared margin balance to keep the position open.

This is different from isolated margin, where each position has its own separate margin allocation.

How Cross Margin Works on 1024EX Predict

When you open a leveraged position on 1024EX Predict, the system calculates the required margin based on your position size, leverage, and market risk parameters.

Under cross margin, your available balance can help support all eligible open positions. If market prices move against one position, that position may use more of the shared margin balance.

If your total account equity falls below the required maintenance level, liquidation may occur.

Example

Suppose you have 100 USDC in your account and open multiple positions on 1024EX Predict.

With cross margin, your available margin is shared across those positions. If one position temporarily moves against you, your remaining available balance may help keep that position open.

However, if the combined losses across your positions become too large, your account may approach liquidation risk.

Benefits of Cross Margin

Higher capital efficiency

Cross margin allows the same margin balance to support multiple positions, instead of locking separate collateral for each trade.

Flexible portfolio management

Users can manage exposure across different markets without constantly moving margin between positions.

Better support for multi-market strategies

Cross margin is especially useful when trading related markets or building a portfolio of outcome-based positions.

Cross Margin vs. Isolated Margin

In isolated margin, each position has its own dedicated margin. Losses are limited to the margin assigned to that position.

In cross margin, positions share one margin balance. This can make capital usage more efficient, but it also means risk is shared across positions.

Users who want more capital efficiency may prefer cross margin. Users who want stricter position-level risk separation may prefer isolated margin when available.

Best Practices

Use cross margin carefully, especially when trading with leverage.

Consider keeping enough available margin in your account, monitoring total exposure across all positions, and avoiding excessive leverage when multiple positions are open.

Cross margin is most effective when users actively manage portfolio-level risk rather than treating each position as fully independent.
