Margin modes

Atomic uses an isolated margin model. Each position has its own dedicated margin; your risk is contained to the amount allocated to that specific trade.

How it works When you open a position, the margin you enter is locked as collateral for that trade only. If the position moves against you and reaches the liquidation price, only that margin is at risk. Your other funds in your wallet are not affected.

Key points

  • Margin is set at the time of opening a position

  • You cannot add or remove margin from an open position

  • Each position has its own independent liquidation price

  • Maximum leverage and minimum margin requirements depend on the traded asset
