FAQs

What is the difference between margin trading and leveraged trading?

Margin trading is a type of trading that allows you to borrow funds from the exchange to increase your potential profits. Leveraged trading is a type of margin trading that uses borrowed funds to amplify your potential profits.

For example, if you have $1,000 in your account and you want to buy $10,000 worth of Bitcoin, you could use 10x leverage to borrow $9,000 from the exchange. This would allow you to buy $10,000 worth of Bitcoin with your $1,000 deposit.

What are the risks of using leverage?

One of the risks of using leverage is that if the market moves against you, you could lose more than you invested. This is because you are borrowing funds from the exchange, and you must pay interest on your loan.

If you are not careful, you could end up in a situation where you lose more money than you originally invested.

How can I reduce the risks of using leverage?

There are a few things you can do to reduce the risks of using leverage:

• Start with a small amount of leverage. As you gain experience, you can gradually increase your leverage.
• Use stop-loss orders to limit your losses. Stop-loss orders can help you protect your trading capital by automatically selling your cryptocurrency once it reaches a predetermined price level.
• Manage your risk carefully. Never trade with more than you can afford to lose.
