Standard Cross Margin

What is Cross Margin

In this margining method, margin is shared between open positions and orders. In cross margin, each position/ order is allocated the minimum margin required to keep the position/ order open. This means that all positions and orders are opened/ kept at the highest allowed leverage.

In cross margin, the entire balance in an account is available to be utilised to keep positions/ orders open and avoid liquidations. The margining systems automatically allocates (i.e. adds or removes) margin as prices move. Therefore, liquidation is triggered only when the entire account balance has been used up.

Cross margin also provides PNL offsetting. This means that the unrealised profit from an open position can be used to support a loss making position or to place new orders.

By default, All accounts on Syndr use Standard Cross-margining.
