Dear OKEx Users,
To enhance your contract trading experience, we will implement adjustments to the isolated/cross margin account mode switching function. Below are the key changes:
Adjustment Details
Previous System Behavior
- Switching between isolated and cross margin modes (via PC/APP) applied to all currencies simultaneously.
- Enabling "Auto-Margin Top-Up" in isolated mode affected all currencies.
Updated System Behavior
- Switching between isolated/cross margin modes now applies only to the selected currency.
- Enabling "Auto-Margin Top-Up" in isolated mode activates exclusively for that currency.
Examples
- If all currencies were in cross margin mode, switching BTC to isolated mode leaves other currencies unaffected.
- If BTC and ETH are in isolated mode, enabling auto-top-up for BTC applies solely to BTC contracts.
Action Required
- Ensure your OKEx APP is updated to the latest version to avoid compatibility issues.

FAQ Section
Q: Will this update affect my existing positions?
A: No. Existing positions remain unchanged; adjustments apply only to future mode switches.
Q: How do I enable auto-margin top-up for a specific currency?
A: Navigate to the contract page of that currency and toggle the auto-top-up option within isolated mode.
Q: Is cross margin mode safer than isolated mode?
A: Cross margin pools collateral across positions, reducing liquidation risk. Isolated mode limits risk to individual positions.
