Leverage settings

1. Follow trader's setting

In this mode, your leverage will automatically align with that of the elite trader's leverage. Any adjustment made by the elite trader will be updated automatically in your leverage.

2. Fixed leverage

In this mode, whether you are under 'Diverse Follow' or 'Smart Copy' mode, your leverage remains the same regardless of the adjustments made by the elite trader.

3. Customize leverage

Here is the most advanced leverage setting where you can customize a specific fixed leverage level for each trading pair.

This feature allows you to choose the best leverage based on your own appetite and trading strategies, enabling you to enjoy a more personalized and optimized copy trading experience.

Margin mode

Under 'Smart Copy' mode, you can select from 'Follow trader's settings', 'Isolated margin', or 'Cross margin'.

Under 'Diverse Follow' mode, you can select from 'Isolated margin' or 'Cross margin'.

1. Follow trader's setting

If you choose this mode, your margin will automatically align with that of the elite trader. Any adjustment made by the elite trader will be updated automatically in your margin.

2. Isolated margin: Specific margins will be allocated to each position for independent risk management.

In isolated margin mode, each position will be allocated a specific margin and a corresponding independent isolated margin account. The initial margin for each isolated margin account is completely separate from each other and the available margin.

You have to carefully and proactively manage these positions, as the balance is reviewed each day as part of every exchange's risk management process. Positions with isolated margin accounts will be automatically liquidated in the event of a margin call.

3. Cross margin: A joint margin pool is utilized for all positions to reduce liquidation risks.

While isolated margin mode may suit beginners, cross margin mode is ideal for traders with long-term strategies who want to avoid unwanted liquidations on positions with the same settlement currency.

Cross margin mode means that all positions have access to a joint margin pool, allowing traders to utilize all available assets in their margin account. It's important to note that using cross margin mode on Bitget may result in a trader having multiple margin pools for different cryptocurrencies. Only open positions with the same settlement asset can make use of the corresponding joint pool.

Update #2: Manual Margin Adjustment in Isolated Margin Mode

In addition to customizable settings, we've introduced the ability to manually adjust the margins for isolated positions. This feature provides greater control and flexibility, allowing users to proactively manage their risk exposure.

How to adjust margin:

● Go to 'My Trades ' and select the 'Orders' tab under 'Smart Copy' / 'Diverse Follow'.

● Increase or reduce the margin for isolated positions as needed to optimize your trading strategy.

That's it! Let's explore the new features today and elevate your trading experience with Bitget!
