$BTC $ETH what is margin trading in binance🤔 ??
Margin trading on **Binance** is basically trading with **borrowed money** to increase the size of your trades (and therefore both potential profits *and* losses).
Here’s the clean breakdown 👇
---
## What margin trading means
Instead of trading only with the money you own, Binance lets you **borrow funds** and trade a **larger position** than your balance would normally allow.
* Your own funds = **collateral**
* Borrowed funds = **loan**
* You pay **interest** on what you borrow
---
## Simple example
Say you have **$1,000**.
* With **2× margin**, you can trade **$2,000**
* Binance lends you the extra **$1,000**
If the price goes **up 10%**:
* Profit ≈ **$200** (instead of $100)
If the price goes **down 10%**:
* Loss ≈ **$200** (also doubled)
⚠️ Losses scale just as fast as profits.

## Types of margin on Binance
### 1. Cross Margin
* All your margin assets share the same risk pool
* If one trade goes bad, **other assets can be used to prevent liquidation**
* Higher risk if multiple trades fail
### 2. Isolated Margin
* Risk is limited **per trading pair**
* Only the funds you assign to that pair can be liquidated
* Safer for beginners
---
## Key terms you’ll see
* **Leverage** – how much you’re borrowing (e.g., 3×, 5×)
* **Margin level** – health of your position
* **Liquidation** – Binance force-closes your trade if losses get too big
* **Interest rate** – cost of borrowing (charged hourly)
---
## Important risks (no sugarcoating)
* You can lose money **very fast**
* Liquidation can wipe out your collateral
* Not recommended unless you understand risk management
---
## Margin vs Futures (quick comparison)
* **Margin**: you borrow assets and trade spot pairs
* **Futures**: contracts with higher leverage and no borrowing interest (but even riskier)
