Protect Your Portfolio: Using Isolated Margin and Sub-Accounts Against Market Swings

Crypto.Andy (DEV) - Feb 24 - - Dev Community

In the world of crypto trading, volatility is inevitable, and one wrong move can lead to massive losses. That’s why isolated margin and sub-accounts are becoming crucial tools for traders looking to protect their portfolios and manage risk effectively.

🔒 Isolated margin helps limit the damage of a single bad trade. By allocating a fixed amount of funds to a specific position, potential losses are contained to that margin only — ensuring your entire account isn’t wiped out if things go south. It’s an essential tool for high-risk trades, allowing traders to manage leverage while avoiding overexposure.

💼 Sub-accounts add another layer of security, enabling traders to separate different strategies and assets into distinct accounts. This way, one failed experiment won’t affect the rest of your portfolio. Sub-accounts also allow for better organization and easier management, especially when you have multiple positions or trade styles.
