I don't do margin trade and that is because I have tried it in forex market and find very difficult to make profits. When I came into cryptocurrencies trading I tried to reduce my risk as minimal as possible and in that I don't used more than 2% of my capital in day trading and the remaining amount is for holding. Margin or leverage trading is not much different from gambling and it is very impossible not to make loses when you are gambling and so it is in margin trading! However, the trend is always our friend and the earliest we understand how to draw trendline and interpreting some candlestick pattern,  the better it will be for us in trading.
