Isolated Risk

Strengths of Unified Account
One-stop experience of multiple trading types
You can directly trade Spot, Spot Margin Trading, USDT Perpetual Futures, Delivery Futures, and Options under the Unified Account and avoid frequent funds transfer among different accounts.

A better risk control mechanism
Liquidation in Classic Account can lead to greater losses as risks are not hedged over the entire portfolio; whereas for Unified Account, as long as the Account Initial Margin Level and Account Maintenance Margin Level meet certain requirements, you can continue to open/hold positions. Your account will not be liquidated easily even if you have suffered great losses in one specific market.
