Isolated margin

A margin mode where each position has its own collateral, and only that collateral is at risk.

In plain English

If the position is liquidated, the loss stops at the margin assigned to it. The rest of the account is not drawn in.

Example

With 100 assigned to an isolated position, a liquidation costs at most that 100 plus fees.
