# Margin Trading

> Liqui Margin Trading introduces high-performance leveraged trading with advanced AI-powered risk management. Built on MegaETH, the system allows users to open long and short positions with dynamic leverage, precision liquidation mechanisms, and intelligent volatility-aware safeguards.
>
> An autonomous risk engine continuously adjusts parameters to optimize safety, capital efficiency, and user experience.

### Margin Modes

Liqui supports both Cross Margin and Isolated Margin, giving users full flexibility to manage risk and allocate capital according to their trading strategy.

### Cross Margin

In Cross Margin mode, all positions draw from a shared collateral pool. The protocol aggregates unrealized PnL and margin requirements to assess overall account health. This reduces the risk of premature liquidations by balancing profitable and unprofitable trades.

Use Cross Margin when optimizing capital across correlated trades or a unified strategy.

### Isolated Margin

In Isolated Margin mode, each position is collateralized independently. Only that position’s margin and unrealized PnL are considered during liquidation, preventing losses in one trade from affecting others.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use Isolated Margin to contain risk per trade - ideal for high-leverage or high-volatility positions.
