I will be very direct, margin trading is only for expert traders and even in this market I will not recommend it as the chances that you lose all of your money because of a single mistake is simply too high, it is true that you can earn more money with margin trading and this is what attracts all kind of traders but it can also bring you more losses, and taking into account the market has a tendency to move incredibly fast then the chances that your orders are fulfilled at worse prices than what you were expecting are high, so please stay away from it and do not engage on it until you have demonstrated to yourself that you can win by trading normally, after all if you cannot do that then what makes you think you will obtain profits when you margin trade?
