[Tutorial]Futures Margin Mode: Isolated/Cross

1. Isolated and Cross Margin Mode

Isolated Margin Mode: A mode that allocates a certain amount of margin to a position.

Cross Margin Mode: A margin model that uses all available balance in the account for the position.

	Isolated	Cross
Diffs	A limited amount of margin will be allocated to a position.	All available balance in account shall be used as margin.
	Independent margins will be applied to each position respectively. Profits and losses will not affect each other.	Margin will be shared for all positions. Profit and loss can be hedged between multiple swaps.
	Only the margin of related position will be affected, if liquidation is triggered.	All balance in the account will be lost if liquidation is triggered.
Pros	Margin is isolated, which limits losses to a certain range. Suitable for more volatile and high leverage ratio situations.	Profit and loss can be hedged between multiple swaps, reducing margin requirements and increasing capital utilization.
