      In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about Altcoins & Bitcoin Margin Trading from the definition, Platforms, tools, technical indicators,tips and resources.

      Let me introduce Margin Trading, which is one of the most lucrative methods to make maximum gains out of this bull market. Margin trading has emerged as one of the popular way for trading in last two years.

      Margin Trading

      Margin trading is a form of trading in which you can borrow extra money from an exchange for trading purpose. The extra amount of money which you borrow is called as a leverage. For example if you have 100$ account for trading, then using 10x leverage you can borrow 1000$ for trading.

      ” Margin trading is risky/volatile in nature as compared to normal spot trading. Our advice is to get basic technical analysis course before you get started your margin trading journey.”

      Top 3 Margin Trading Platforms

      BitMex

      BitMex is one of the oldest and most used exchange for margin trading. It offers upto 100x leverage on Bitcoin trading, upto 50x leverage on XRP and ETH trading and upto 20x leverage on Tron, EOS, Bitcoin Cash and Litcoin.

      Top 3 Margin Trading Glossary

      Funding Rate

      Funding rate changes after every 8 hours on BitMex.

      When funding rate is positive – Long positions pays fees to Short positions.

      When funding rate is negative- Short positions pays fees to Long positions.

      Open Interest

      Usually, when open interest reaches unusually high numbers (over 100,000 Bitcoins) we’ll see an increased volatility in Bitcoin’s price.

      Margin

      There are two types of margin which you can choose from –

      Isolated Margin – Using isolated margin, user can pick desired margin from 1x to 100x (offered by an exchange).

      Cross Margin- When user select cross margin, His entire balance will be on stake. Margin get automatically adjusted according to the direction of the trade.

      Top 3 Margin trading tips

      Use low leverage

      Go slow, don’t try to become rich in one day. 100x leverage sounds lucarative, but its equally dangerous, it could wipe out your whole account within minutes in case you are at the wrong direction of the trade. We would advice you to use low leverage, in fact don’t use leverage above 5x for regular and consistent profits.

      Don’t take advice from trollbox

      BitMex has a feature called TrollBox – where traders discusses about their trade positions. 99% of them are pure gambling without any technical knowledge. we would advise you to simply disable trollbox window when you are trading on bitmex and similar platforms.

      Focus on Swing trading

      Focus on long term trades based on Daily, weekly timeframe. Swing trades has a better success rate as compare to day trade. Build position in parts when you take a swing position on bitcoin or any altcoin.

      Top 3 Technical Indicators
