Cross Margin
Cross margin is a margin mode in which eligible account collateral can be shared across positions according to the platform's rules. Profits, losses and available collateral elsewhere in the account may therefore affect how individual positions are supported.
Why it matters to you
Cross margin can give positions access to more account collateral and potentially reduce the chance that one position is liquidated by a relatively small adverse move. But it also means a badly performing position may place more of the account's eligible collateral at risk.
