Every CPX account trades in cross margin, margined in USDT. You will see it at the top of the order panel (Cross) and in the Margin section on the right (USDT · Cross). There is no separate isolated mode to configure - one setting fewer to think about before you trade.
What cross margin means
Your positions share one margin pool - the account's available balance. Margin is not walled off per trade: unrealized profit on one position offsets unrealized loss on another, and every position draws on the same available margin.
Cross margin matches how a CoinProp account is actually judged. Your evaluation and funded rules - profit target, Daily Loss Limit, Max Loss Limit - are measured on account equity, the whole account, not per position. The margin model and the rules line up.
The margin readouts in the terminal
The right-hand panel shows your margin state live:
- Margin Rate - how much of your equity is currently committed as margin. Low is comfortable; as it climbs toward 100%, the account is fully deployed.
- Available Margin - equity still free to open new positions.
- Position Margin - equity reserved by the positions you have open.
Below that, the Assets section tracks Balance, Currency Equity (balance plus unrealized P&L), Unrealized PnL and Realized PnL.
Liquidation price vs. account limits
Each open position shows a Liq. Price in the Positions panel - the exchange-style level where the position would be force-closed. In practice, on a CoinProp account your Daily Loss Limit and Max Loss Limit almost always bind first: at the leverage CPX offers, equity reaches a loss limit well before a cross-margin liquidation price. Treat the loss limits as your real risk boundary.
FAQ
Can I switch to isolated margin? No - CPX accounts run cross margin only. It is displayed in the terminal rather than configurable.
Why cross margin? Because your rules are account-level. Loss limits and targets are measured on total equity, so margin works the same way - one pool, one clear picture.
Does cross margin mean one bad trade can affect others? All positions share the same equity, so a large unrealized loss reduces the margin available to everything else. Position sizing remains your main risk control.
Which currency is margin held in? USDT. All pairs on CPX are USDT-margined perpetuals.
