Margin Trading Introduction

Margin trading means a trader can borrow funds to increase their total trade size, which allows the trader to enter into positions that are larger than their initial collateral. This amplifies both profit potential and risk.

For example, if a trader has 100 of USDC in their trading account, the trader could choose to open a 300 USDC trade, or 3x leverage off of their 100 USDC. They do this by0 borrowing the additional 200 USDC from the liquidity pool, making their total position size 300 USDC.

Traders are able to open long or short positions based on what they think will happen to their target asset, in relation to another asset. If they place a 'long' trade, it means that they think that the asset they are going long on will go up in price vs. the other specified asset. If they 'short', it means that they think that the asset will go down in price.
