#AskWho #Crossed_Or_Isolated_Mode

There is a use case of Cross or Isolated Mode but you should NOT use Isolated mode for SL replacement.

🤔 Why?

Binance will enforce to liquidate your account if price is going against your trade.

Example:

+ your capital = $100

+ your trade volume = $1000 = $10 (Margin) x 100 (Leverage)

- Position closing fee = 0.05% (Market Taker fee) is too small.

- Liquidation fee = 2% x volume = 2% x $1000 = $20

==> you can trade only ~$80 (80% of capital). For some cases, Binance will liquidate your account at around 70%.

💥If you go back to 10-Oct-2025, the market was fallen quickly, BTC dropped 16% from 122k to 101k within few minutes, many accounts were liquidated. SL even could not help because of shortage of market liquidation. However, isolated mode will help on this case.

🎁 Key Takeaway:

>> Always use SL beyond Liquidated level to maximize your capital investment.

>> Only keep the capital amount you accept to loss in your futures account and trade in Cross mode with SL.

>> Use Isolated mode for extremely high volume trade to protect your capital with SL beyond your liquidated level.

👉 How to Switch Margin Modes:
