Margin trading provides users with services to trade with funds lent by the third-party.
Compared to common tradings, Margin trading allows the user to get more funds, and it will magnify both profits and losses.
(When reasonably utilized, margin can work as a tool to enhance the risk control capabilities of the assets on the whole.)
