Isolated vs Cross Margin: Don't Risk Your Entire Wallet

March 24, 2026
By FeeLessTrade Team

Cross Margin uses your entire wallet as collateral. If one trade goes wrong, your whole account gets liquidated. Isolated Margin limits risk to just that position. Always use Isolated Margin on Bybit and MEXC. If you have $10,000 and trade with $1,000 in Isolated Margin, only that $1,000 is at risk. In Cross Margin, all $10,000 could be lost. This simple setting choice has saved countless traders from complete financial ruin. Set Isolated Margin before opening any futures position.
