# Isolated FIN Margin

## Overview

Isolated FIN Margin is a type of margin product that allows leverage trading of up to 2.5X on certain FIN trading pairs. Margin is allowed on most [USK](/dapps-and-infrastructure/usk-stablecoin.md) collateral types when paired with USK on FIN. Currently margin is only unavailable for gPAXG (Paxos Gold bridged over to Kujira using Gravity Bridge). All margin liquidations are handled by ORCA. Read more specifics about how Isolated FIN margin works [here](/dapps-and-infrastructure/fin/how-to-use-fin/spot-and-margin-trade-ui/isolated-fin-margin.md).&#x20;

## Liquidation Mechanism

At the moment, based on the underlying mechanism for isolated FIN margin, ORCA liquidations for FIN margin are handled in the same queues and markets where USK collateral is liquidated and bidded on using USK. This is why FIN margin's relationship with ORCA can be understood as it simply being a subset of ORCA USK markets. This is because using FIN margin effectively just means minting USK in reverse and backing it immediately after. Read [here](/dapps-and-infrastructure/fin/how-to-use-fin/spot-and-margin-trade-ui/isolated-fin-margin.md#mechanism) for a complete explanation of this process. Due to the above, the isolated FIN margin ORCA markets literally double as the USK liquidation markets used for liquidating USK collateral. Read [here](/dapps-and-infrastructure/usk-stablecoin/technical-specifics.md) for more about how USK works and [here](/dapps-and-infrastructure/usk-stablecoin/how-to-mint-usk.md) for its connection to ORCA. &#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kujira.app/dapps-and-infrastructure/orca/basics/lending-markets/usk-lending-markets/isolated-fin-margin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
