Crypto Margin Trading

Margin trading on Bicoince: trade spot markets with borrowed funds. Borrowing magnifies gains and losses alike.

How much leverage does margin trading on Bicoince allow?

Up to 10x on spot pairs, with the cap for each pair shown in the terminal before you borrow. Leverage multiplies losses as well as gains, and because a margin position is funded with borrowed money you can lose more than the margin you put up.

What is the difference between cross and isolated margin?

Cross margin shares your collateral across every open position, so a loss on one draws on the whole balance and a gain on one supports the others. Isolated margin walls off each pair: only the margin assigned to that position is at risk, and a liquidation there cannot touch the rest. You can switch modes, and which one is safer depends on whether you would rather cap the damage per pair or give a position more room.

When is a margin position liquidated?

When its margin ratio breaches the maintenance requirement. That requirement is tiered, so a larger position has to hold proportionally more margin than a small one. Before a full liquidation you get margin-call alerts, and the engine liquidates partially first to bring the ratio back rather than closing everything at once.

How is margin interest charged?

Interest accrues only for as long as you are actually borrowing, at a rate that depends on your tier, and every accrual is a ledger entry you can inspect. Repaying early stops it. There is no charge for having margin enabled and nothing borrowed.
