Single asset mode & Multi-asset mode

AsterEX Pro offers two margin modes to support different trading strategies:

Single-asset mode

• Collateral: Only USDT is accepted.

• Margin allocation: Margin is managed separately for each position.

• Risk management: Each position is isolated — losses in one do not affect others.

• Profit and loss (PnL): PnL is calculated individually for each position.

Multi-asset mode

• Collateral: Supports a variety of cryptocurrencies, including restaked tokens.

• Margin allocation: Margin is shared across all open positions, which helps you use capital more efficiently.

• Risk management: Risk is evaluated across your entire portfolio, not position-by-position.

• Profit and loss (PnL): Gains and losses are netted across all open positions.

• Automatic balance management:

  • If the balance of a specific asset falls below a required threshold, the system automatically converts other assets in your wallet into the one that’s needed (e.g. converting ETH to USDT).

  • This is done internally through the matching engine, with no additional commission.

Note: Multi-Asset Mode operates in cross margin only.

Key benefits of multi-asset mode:

• Efficient capital allocation: Your margin is shared across positions, so you can use it more flexibly.

• Profitable setoff: Gains from winning positions can offset losses from others in real-time.

• Simplified monitoring: Your margin balance reflects net PnL, giving a clear view of your overall exposure.

Collateral value ratios

Each supported asset has a collateral value ratio, which determines how much of its value counts toward your usable margin. Assets with higher risk or volatility receive a larger discount.
