Isolated vs cross margin

Isolated margin risks only the collateral assigned to one position; cross margin shares the whole account balance.

In short

In isolated margin, a position's losses are bounded by the margin allocated to it. In cross margin, every position draws on the same account balance, so one bad position can liquidate the others.

Why the choice matters for mirrored accounts

Cross margin is more capital-efficient and more contagious. A single leader's outsized loss in a cross-margined account can force liquidation of positions that were performing fine.

Sub-account separation provides a stronger version of the same containment logic at the account level: a leader's failure is bounded by that leader's sub-account.
