What Is Isolated Margin in Crypto Futures on Pluang?

Isolated Margin is a margin mode in Crypto Futures where each position is allocated its own dedicated margin. Losses from that position are limited to the margin locked for it — if the position is liquidated, only that position's margin is lost and the rest of your account balance is unaffected. All Crypto Futures contracts on Pluang support Isolated Margin.

Why Isolated Margin matters for your trading:

1. More controlled risk — cap potential losses to only the margin allocated per position.
2. Other positions stay safe — if one position is liquidated, your other open positions are completely unaffected.
3. Flexible across multiple strategies — run multiple positions simultaneously, each with a different risk level. Especially useful in volatile markets where discipline matters most.

How it works technically:

• Funding fees are deducted from the position's own margin — not from the shared account margin balance.
• Capital efficiency is lower than Cross Margin, because each position holds its own dedicated margin that cannot be shared.
• The margin used is the position's allocated margin (position_margin) — not your entire Futures balance.
