Overview of Margin Trading

 

  • Margin trading is a form of borrowing money from a securities company to buy securities. Margin trading creates good opportunities, increases investment efficiency but also has many potential risks. Carefully learning about margin trading is extremely important to gain good profits and avoid risks.
  • Margin trading is essentially using leverage in securities investment activities. It is easy to understand that if your investment activities are effective, the profit from the investment can increase many times compared to using only your own capital.
  • Each type of business has certain advantages and disadvantages. Investors need to carefully research market trends, their own capabilities, investment methods, and stocks being invested in to make appropriate decisions. The advice is that if the market trend is determined to be an upward trend, investors can increase the yield from margin buying activities.
