Cross Margin

Cross-Margin Trading with Orderly Pool on Navigator

With Navigator Exchange’s integration of Orderly Pool, traders now have the flexibility to choose both isolated-margin on CP and SP and cross-margin trading styles on OP within a single platform. Orderly Pool enables Cross-Margin Trading, allowing traders to optimize capital usage and risk management.

✅ How Cross-Margin Works?

  • Shared Margin Across Positions: Instead of isolating margin for each position, the entire account balance is used as collateral.

  • Reduced Liquidation Risk: Losses from one position can be offset by profits from another, helping to prevent liquidation.

  • Higher Capital Efficiency: Maximize leverage without manually reallocating margin for different trades.

  • Better Risk Management: Traders can manage multiple positions with a unified balance, reducing the chances of forced liquidation.

🔹 Example Scenario:

  • A trader opens a long position on ETH/USDC with $5,000 margin on Orderly Pool.

  • Simultaneously, the trader opens a short position on BTC/USDC using the same cross-margin balance.

If BTC drops and ETH rises, the profit from ETH can cover BTC losses, reducing the risk of liquidation. Comparing Isolated Margin & Cross-Margin Trading. Which One Should You Choose?

Prefer to have each position managed separately? → Isolated Margin gives better control over individual trades.

Want to optimize capital across multiple trades? → Cross-Margin provides more flexibility for fund utilization.
