# Trading Accounts and Modes

### Margin Mode and Trading Accounts

By default, our platform enables cross-margin, allowing collateral to be shared among all positions within a single trading account. Alternatively, users can opt for isolated margin by creating separate trading accounts under the same wallet.&#x20;

Users can create up to 10 trading accounts with independent margin per single wallet. The liquidation of one trading account does not impact the liquidation of other trading accounts created under the same wallet.&#x20;

Users have the ability to transfer their Available Balance for Withdrawals between trading accounts without any fees. However, it's important to note that these transfers can impact the margin ratio and the liquidation of the involved individual accounts.

For detailed information on the liquidation process, please refer to the [Liquidation Logic](/extended-resources/trading/liquidation-logic.md) section.

### Hedge Mode

Currently, our platform does not support hedge mode, which would allow users to simultaneously open long and short positions in the same market. However, users can create sub-accounts to emulate this behavior.

### Self-Trade Prevention

Self-Trade Prevention, which blocks the matching of two opposing orders from the same trading account, is enabled by default, resulting in the cancellation of the resting order.
