Margin Mode

Kraken derivatives traders should decide margin mode, leverage and exit logic before entry because the mode cannot be switched after the position is open.

Before entering a futures trade, confirm margin mode, position mode, leverage, order type and TP/SL settings instead of treating the order ticket as a buy-or-sell button.

OKX account modes change how collateral, futures, perpetual swaps and risk controls work. Traders should choose the account structure before choosing leverage.
