Effective risk management requires systems that adapt to market volatility and handle unconventional assets. An isolated margin model provides the necessary framework—it keeps positions separate, simplifies margin and liquidation calculations, and enables funding rates calibrated for thinly traded markets. This architecture proves essential when liquidity is constrained. Traders dealing with emerging or low-volume assets particularly benefit from such structured controls, which prevent cascading liquidations and provide transparency in how positions are managed.

Isolated margin is basically designed to prevent liquidation from a single all-in bet.

The isolation margin system is indeed reliable, especially when trading small-cap coins, as you're not afraid of chain liquidations.

Isolation margin... Oh, isn't this what I should have understood before my last halving?

The isolation margin framework is essentially an intelligent contract design for risk isolation, preventing one position from causing a cascade effect on the entire account—similar to adding a reentrancy guard to each position. The problem is that most exchanges do not implement this rigorously, and the funding rate aspect is particularly prone to pitfalls.

Isolated margin, to put it simply, is a safety net for those trading small-cap coins. Despite the official-sounding description, the core purpose is to prevent a single position from exploding and taking down the entire portfolio.

Low-liquidity assets are indeed easy to fall into traps. The isolated margin mode seems to be the most practical solution at the moment.

The isolated margin mode really has some advantages; small coins are not afraid of chain liquidation.
