Isolated vs Cross - Which Mode Should You Trade In?
When you enter Gate Futures, 2 options appear. 90% of people make the mistake here.
Isolated Mode:
Only the money in this trade is at risk. If you trade with $10 out of $100, if you lose, only that $10 is gone. The remaining $90 is safe.
Best for beginners.
Cross Mode:
Your entire Futures Wallet is at risk. If a trade goes bad, all your money can be lost.
For pros.
Rule:
If your account is below $500, always use Isolated + Leverage less than 5x.
Remember, surviving in the market = profit. You can't become a millionaire overnight.
