I've just placed my first ever short trade using the BTC/USDT pairing through Binance Margin (Isolated rather than Cross). I kept the amount very low for my first trade just in case I did anything wrong - but fortunately the trade seems to have gone through ok...
The Isolated trade on Binance allows me to borrow 10x the amount I have transferred into my Margin account. My question is, does the Liquidation Price (shown in the Positions tab) trigger when I have lost all of the money in my Margin account, or, can it access the money in my Spot account as well?
So my question is really... When making a short trade through Binance Margin, am I putting my Spot account at risk or just the money in my Margin account?
You are trading an Isolated Margin which means the margin that used for the isolated position is not possible to be move. But if you mean your extra balance outside the margin value committed on your position then you can safely transfer it without affecting your liquidation price. It will only take effect once you are using cross margin since it use all the balance on your account automatically and reflect to your liquidation margin.
