Frequently Asked Questions

How does margin trading work?

When you open a margin position, you deposit collateral and borrow additional funds from the exchange. This allows you to control a larger position than your deposit alone. If the market moves in your favour, your gains are amplified; if it moves against you, your losses are also amplified.

What is the difference between cross and isolated margin?

In cross margin mode, your entire margin balance is shared across all open positions, reducing the risk of liquidation on any single position. In isolated margin mode, a specific amount of margin is allocated to each position, limiting your maximum loss to the margin assigned to that trade.

What happens if my position is liquidated?

If the market moves significantly against your position and your margin ratio drops below the maintenance level, your position may be partially or fully liquidated to repay the borrowed funds. Using stop-loss orders and monitoring your margin ratio can help you avoid liquidation.

What are the fees for margin trading?

Margin trading fees include standard trading fees (maker/taker) plus borrowing interest on the funds you've borrowed. Interest rates vary by asset and are charged per hour. All fees are transparently displayed before you confirm a trade.

What leverage is available?

BITmarkets offers leverage up to 50x on selected trading pairs. The maximum available leverage may vary depending on the asset and market conditions. We recommend starting with lower leverage until you're comfortable with margin trading mechanics.

Risk Disclaimer

Margin trading involves significant risk and is not suitable for all investors. Leverage amplifies both potential profits and potential losses. You may lose more than your initial deposit. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved and never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
