Hello Everyone.

I want to know your opinion on margin trading is it good for beginners or not? is there any high chance of losing the money?

margin trading for beginners? probably not safe mate, Because you don't know yet how trading really works.. Unless if you have good skills when it comes trading , if not then perhaps much better to practice your skills first by creating a demo account in any exchange that offer such stuff, wherein to assure when you start margin trading you know everything and you know as well that afterwards you will become successful, because if you don't have enough skills and knowledge in it its like you give money to anyone without any reason.. Lol so how you can repay after all? Think about it mate.

where I can make a demo account?

Risky question...! And the answer is full of risks...! no one guarantees, beginners lose and profit in trading.

Before trading take a look at some of the suggestions in this topic: Topic: Crypto Trading Strategies for Beginners... (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4576895.0), maybe it can help you in trading in the digital/crypto world.

The bottom line: anyone can trade, but every exchange you will find writings like the one below.

The decision is yours to make or not to trade.

Sorry but this question is really out of logic. Do you know what's margin trading? To make it easy and understandable for you, during the margin trading you borrow the capital from 3rd parties, i.e. when your capital is $100 and you use margin trading with 3x leverage, in reality, you are trading with $300. When the price moves by 10 percent, it moves by 30 percent for you because of your 3x leverage. If the negative movement is more than 30% (for you 90%), then your assets are under the threat of liquidation and once it will become 100% for you, then you are automatically liquidated.
So, what I want to say is that margin trading means the increasing of your capital by borrowing the money from others and when you are a newbie, I have heard that you should trade with a low amount of money and with caution, so, now you know what to do.

It is very bad for beginners. In crypto market beginners will have to master the market with 3 to 4 years. I can bet 99% of beginners won't survive after four years if they use margin for trades.

Depends on formula for liquidations of each exchange, you will lose about 70% of your collateral for your margin account. First liquidation, lose 70% of initial capital. Second liquidation, lose 70% of 30% initial capital or 21% of initial capital.

After 2 liquidations, you will lose 91% of your initial capital. Is it fast or slow rate of losing money?

There is high chance that beginners will lose if trading spot, that is trading without margin, that is why it is advisable to use the amount of money that can not result to depression if lost, becuase funds taken into trading by beginners is consider lost as they most likely will lose it. If the beginner leverage the trade, the more the risk. Not advisable for beginners to leverage.

Check out eToro, they have a "virtual" account. It's basically a practice account where you're just playing with play money: https://etoro.com/

And yea, don't even start trading with real money as a beginner. Using margin early on is an exceptionally BAD idea.

If the trader is a beginner it will be to their best interest to steer clear of margin trading. Spot trading on its own isn't even easy let alone margin trading. Don't let greed overcome you, thinking of how much you stand to rake in at any trade engagement isn't the right way to go in trading. Remember, there's no holy grail in trading and no setup is perfect. That's if the beginner trader even know what a setup is and how to plot it via a vis TA.

Of course, there will be losses. Even professional veteran traders do suffer losses from time to time let alone noob traders.

That would be a straight NO from me.

I have been doing margin trading lately. I have tried to play it safe and I am not a beginner at trading.
I can do technical analysis to some extent and get an idea on the market speculation but still I have lost a good chunk of money in margin trading.
The thing to worry here is the word 'beginner'. If you were experienced you could have tried it out but since you are new to this I would recommend you not to go ahead.
Try to win at least around 20 trades with your strategy in spot trading before thinking to trade on margin.
Once you get good at trading only then consider thinking about margin trading.

No not at all. until you understand money management and risk management doing margin trading is extremely risky. Everyone who started this way has blown up or been quite close to blowing up their account. It simply doesn't works because at the initial stage your intent is to predict the movement of the market correctly on which you can only be correct upto 70% now if you don't know money management correctly you will sell off the wining positions too early and will keep on holding losing positions forever. Basically making your trading unprofitable.

Margin trading? isn't this a trade that uses funds from a third party? Of course this is not good for beginners. Because it will fund the cost of collateral to be paid. Bouldn't it be better for you to try trading crypto directly with your own funds, it's easy for you to register on one of the crypto markets like Binance. start with small things like buy at -5% and sell at ++5%. You don't have to read a chart, you just need to make buy orders and sell orders.

Margin trading for beginners I think this is very risky, especially the skills needed for margin trading, of course the money that will be brought will be lost, so if you want to try it then I think you need to be ready with the risks that occur and use cold money to do it .

So it's true that the money that is brought in margin trading by beginners to be ready to lose because of all that you will know the real experience, if you are not ready with all this then don't ever do it.

Try to take a safe position and learn little by little.

I don't know either it's good or bad since I am not much familiar with margin trading nor I am interested in it. Someone asked me a few months back that he want to do margin trade. But I had tried to prevent him from margin trading, but he ignores my suggestion. Then he tried with a small amount and lost it eventually. So for a beginner, it's quite dangerous to participate in margin trade IMO. It's better to understand market sentiment before doing margin trade.

Margin trading is bad for the average person, regardless of their experience in trading - a good normal trader can still fail on margin if they can't properly manage risk.

Don't start margin trading unless you can turn a profit and have some accuracy trading (I'd say if you win 65+% of your last 50 trades, you could try moving to margin trading only then).

Whatever form of trading does a newbie will enter, there's always a chance of losing the money. Come to think that professionals are even losing up today even for a simple buy low sell high actions.

It's not a wrong move for a newbie to do margin trading for the sake of building experience. But if the reason for immediately advancing to the next step is to make money, that's a bad idea. Try to familiarize first what a newbie should do step by step until they are now ready to advance their level of knowledge.

This is too risky for beginners, because you still have a limited knowledge about trading and yet you are taking much risk in margin trading where the exchange allows you to borrow some funds and if you input the wrong numbers, you will be liquidated in instant. Beginners should focus more on spot trading while you are still learning, don’t rush yourself and just take your time to learn things about trading, it will be more worth it this way.

No and yes.

No, it's not for beginners.

Yes, you can lose money with it since you still have no idea how totally risky it is. It's a gamble if you ever get into margin trading so don't do it if you lack of knowledge but at least you can try it if you want and gain knowledge.

This is a risky decision so I would say no. Margin trading is full risk even for other experienced traders. I think you should work towards increasing your trading skills without wasting time in margin trading. If your trading skills are not good then you will not get good results in the spot market either. If you want to trade in any market by margin or spot you have to have an idea about the market. So new traders should not worry about margin trading, this is for pro traders, the average trader will not be able to stay in this market.

Trading in general always has the chance of losing money. And I honestly would recommend starting out with simple trading as a newbie instead of overstepping your bounds and straight going into margin trading. It just has too much risk for someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Even if you've studied guides and videos and whatnot, it still wouldn't beat hands-on experience so I'd really suggest starting with Spot trading instead, or if you want, virtual trading. Doesn't let you feel what the market moves, but it does familiarize you with what you're looking at in a real trade.

Not just margin trading but spot trading is also not for beginners if you don't know when to enter and when to exit you will lose your money. Therefore, I suggest you learn TA before starting your journey.

it's too risky. In margin trading, one wrong entry ( short/long) could lead to the account liquidation

Binance leverage was adjusted afaik it's just 20x.  But it is still not a safe environment for beginners despite that. When the market goes the opposite direction against your bet 20x is still the biggest loss that could discourage you while you are starting your trading career.

I would suggest just keep on the spot market because it's a no-loss market unless you can't wait for something to happen.

From the very beginning, I started using the leverage provided by Amarkets in the amount of 1: 1000, and I can say that there were no particular problems in the principle, because before that I went through full training and was able to start working correctly using this condition.

This will be the biggest mistake that early people make. These people will never be seen in the market again. I will not ask anyone to trade margin. If you do not hear, do not take more than 5x

Beginners are exposed to a high risk of losing their money even using spot trading. But if you use margin trading, the risk of losing money increases by 100 times. You need to first learn how to trade on the spot market so that the trade brings you profit, and only then start studying margin trading.

No i did not suggest any some to start your crypto trading career from margin trading. I suggest you to start trading with spot trading. On initial stage there is a great chance of losing funds. In spot trading your account did not vanish. Spot trading is a good option for newbies. If you are a professional trader and know how to do technical analysis and fundamental analysis then you can choose the leverage trading or future trading.

I would like to say that Trading is risky in general. And as a beginner, spot trading is the most suitable place to stay as we are just enhancing our knowledge and trading skills. Margin trading requires advanced trading skills and this is very hard when you only have limited market knowledge and much more if you are still in the learning process.

More risk = more profit. But I don't keep this kind of thinking and I don't force myself to try it knowing that I don't have the capability to do it rather than to choose those places that I was fit.

Thanks for your input but I feel newbies will sincerely reject such suggestions when margin trading is a magic in many seasons of the market, the average person can raise their capital many times over with margin and they start to inspire many new people, a harmful advertising for users, curiosity is a knife to all newbies but the warning is more of a condition to encourage them more. Margin is not good for both newbies and members here and outside this market, market sublimation and evaporation can do magic tricks and make thousands of accounts disappear

Margin trading is basically targeting the greediness of traders like trader can make 100x more profits out of their same capital and which is the simple reason why most people are easily getting convinced to get into margin trading regardless of their level of awareness against the dangers of margin trading. I read most of the people are going for margin trading with the expectation of quick profits in very short period of time but market fluctuations are more quicker unpredictable than their target levels which makes their accounts disappear within a blink of eye.

Already crypto trading must be having more risks and on top of that you are adding another level of risk factors when you're opting for margin trading.

Depends on what the "beginner" is in this case. If we are talking about a person that is beginner at crypto but expert at trading in the fiat world, then they could start with margin trading, even better than some veterans of the crypto world. However if we are talking about someone who is newbie and beginner then we are should not be considering that person as a margin trader at all and they should stay away at all times for sure.

I personally do not think that anyone should do margin trading, not veterans and not anyone else, margin trading is just way too risky for me and I managed to stay away from it as long as I can, will keep staying away from it as long as I can forever as well. If you want to test it, just do it with small amount of money so that you wouldn't be really losing too much money since it is a quite low amount anyway so you wouldn't care.

It’s too risky for a beginner with limited knowledge about the market to use margin trading not unless you already have experience using it in other market then you can be good. Margin trading is an advance trading strategy that uses more funds to trade, you also need to setup that position to avoid being liquidated. Stay away if you are still newbie and don’t have any experience yet about margin trading, you can try other trading option.

I don't agree that it's good for beginners unless you know what you're doing and have some experience. You can get liquidated easily if you use high leverage.

Absolutely not. Probably the worst idea that you can have.

Margin trading is notoriously difficult to manage even for the best hedge fund managers. It can make you millions one day and you can lose it the very next. Just search up Bill Hwang and the Archegos Capital saga, you'll quickly realise how easily your positions can tumble.

The fact is that you should never use leverage as a beginner, and even as a professional you shouldn't use leverage more than 5x-10x. And heck, these crypto exchanges are offering up to 100x.

Pretty sure you have heard of margin trading at some point. However, not many people know its actual meaning. Margin trading gives you the opportunity to open a position larger than the amount in your account or initial deposit. The higher the return, the greater the risk, so please think twice.

Many factors determine the current risk of your account, margin trading is the most dangerous one, stay away from him.

It is the worst option for a beginner.

It is way more risky for a beginner to start margin than to start with spot trading.

By doing spot trading, a beginner can learn how this market works and they can start taking informed decisions so to what they need to keep in mind before making predictions. This is needed to predict whether the market goes long or short.

Only a seasoned trader should put their hands into margin trading. Please do not follow what many exchanges are doing, that is spamming social media with margin trading and such. It is the one thing that will make you lose money, exchanges dont care, they want your money and that is why they promote it.

Learn first, earn later. But if you want an easy way to lose money then by all means go for margin and then be one of those people who call crypto a scam because they lost money doing high risk trades.

This is more like asking if newbies without knowledge can start trading automatically. Margin trading will keep you in a big dept and isn't even adviceable for an average trader. For a newbie arbitrary trading can be considered but going into margin trading will first give you the biggest shock because even if you have the skill you haven't mastered your emotions yet.

A margin account increments acquiring control and permits financial specialists to utilize somebody else's cash to extend monetary use. Margin exchanging offers more noteworthy benefit potential than traditional exchanging, but moreover greater dangers. Obtaining stocks on edge opens up the impacts of misfortunes.

But in my opinion, traders never need to go for margin trading if they are caring about their hard earned capital. Spot trading is more than enough for both beginners and experienced traders as margin trading is leading to become greed which must be a very big emotional problem that every trader needs to encounter against. A wise trader must look into the possibilities of eliminating most risk factors, this way spot trading must be a very good option.

Whatever knowledge you will be acquiring from books/videos/demo accounts, that will not be enough even for spot trading then I'm not sure how people are getting ready for margin trading. When experienced traders are not consistently making profits in spot trading, it is highly recommended never think about margin trading.

Margin trading also open s or exposes the trader to lost of risk if something goes on. If the trader out of greed begins to trade on high margin, they should remember that they stand the chance of big loses at the end of price hit them negatively. As a trader that wants to do well and profit, you need a gradual process to acquire and build your capital. You also need to take a risk you can manage through money management and stop losses. Expect traders lose hugely too when they don't follow trading ethics and rules

I think better start step by step to do trading. If me personally will suggest to do spot trading first. At least we wouldn't get liquidated and can hold the coin if in a bad condition or in lose  position. Because in spot trading, as long we not sell our coins yet, we not considered as lose and you can learn about analysis beside trading.

Margin trading is associated with a high risk of losing money, so it is also dangerous for both beginners and experienced traders. But unlike beginners, experienced traders, thanks to their knowledge and experience, can significantly reduce the risk of losing money.

But, if you notice that even pro traders are facing hitting stoploss time to time due to unpredictable volatile nature of bitcoins and all these are based on spot trading. It means even pro traders are struggling for consistency in spot trading then in my opinion also that margin trading is too dangers for experienced traders as well. We better stick within sport trading to eliminate the risks at massive percentage.

We are supposed to know ourselves then because a reason why a trader suffers losses is of being too confident and pretending that they know everything. We have to stop this kind of attitude as this gives no help but instead this only drives us to a worse end. In fact, even experts can't be consistent in spot trading how much more for noobs.
And for me personally, I'd rather stay where I can see myself was good enough. Trading is not for everyone the same as margin trading.

if we didnt trade well in spot market , better to avoid using future trade. we have high risk that may occur when we make any mistake , its not tolerate in future trades and we have to totally understand in which level we enter and exit.

experienced trader have good knowledge in spot market so they could applied it in future market , but for beginner better to avoid it.

Well said, mate. If you can't do good in the spot, there's no chance that you'll do better in margin trading. The risk it has and it's literally a gamble. I saw people that have been doing good with it but they are tolerable and the amount they use there is just with the little that they have. I'm happy to see those people sharing their gains with futures but not because others can make it, you'll also jump on the boat without any preparation because it's not really intended for everyone who just wishes to earn there. You have to do what it takes for you to be profitable and tolerate the risk that it gives you if you start doing futures/margin.

this is be biggest mistakes by many traders, their skill not enough to generate profits consistently but in hurry using futures trade. It should not did , because in future trade our balance will decrease alot when make single mistake. learn well and improve our skill before start trade in future, it could give us huge gain but also could make us as poor man in single trade.

I don't think so, this is not recommended for new traders because the risk is too big and we don't know to handle stress when struggles come on trading. Choosing over holding will be a good strategy, instead of margin trading because you're just going to wait while you let your coins increase a sustainable value. For sure it's all worth it by time you'll meet your target price.

It is very dangerous and high risk if a beginner who does not have good trading skills tries futures trading, it will only make beginners lose money
and become traumatized to trade again. It is better for beginners to start from demo trading, after that proceed with spot trading first, must go
through successive steps to be able to do futures trading. For me who has been trading for 5 years, it is still difficult to make profit from futures
trading, especially for inexperienced beginners.

Trading and Holding still correspond to risk. Some choose to trade as they think it was a good and more profitable decision, I can't say that they are right or wrong as it was their choice and for sure they know already what will happen to them.

Like, spot and margin trading is at a different level. I'd never know more about margin trading as I never tried it in the first place as I was only stopped at spot trading where I felt so easy than margin trading. And just like you've said, trading is risky and this was not the right place for the noobs and much more if they choose Margin trading.

I also expect a beginner or newbie to have been earning profits consistently in spot trading where risk is minimal and gain more experience before switching over to margin  trading be it cross or isolated margin, cryptos are highly volatile the rate at which newbies get liquidated while future trading or margin trading with high leverages is high, however due to greediness and the impression of getting rich quick a lot of them defies advice and margin trade in a bid to becoming millionaire overnight but ended up being liquidated or related.

Thanks to the use of stop-loss, experienced traders maintain their balance, while reducing possible losses. And this also distinguishes them from newcomers who rarely use this feature, and, as a rule, the balance of newcomers will be liquidated if they use margin trading, without using stop-loss.

most likely a novice trader experiences a huge loss of money, even experienced people sometimes still experience losses, even though they do not run out of capital. therefore for beginners I think it is better to use free money according to their abilities, so that they are expected to be more emotionally calm and not easily panic sell, because that is the main cause of traders experiencing losses

Are you aware of any opportunity for availing free money for margin trading?
Or are you referring only demo-money kind of thing for practicing real time trading environment?

But in my opinion, for beginners margin trading is not at all recommended even they are getting free money to get started with.

Emotion control must be very important in trading, I agree still even you are very good in emotion control while trading you may get trapped in margin trading because the risks are multiplying according to leverage availed. So, emotion control and money management tactics are easier to follow while in spot trading and anyone imagining same kind of thing for margin trading as well then eventually find its cruel nature in the end.

Exactly this is what in my mind as well to suggest to OP (I guess they might have decided about margin trading by this time already). Anyhow, for all the people who are having idea about margin trading, must need to follow this topic kind of things to stay safer in crypto trading. I read that some governments are in plan to ban margin trading completely due to higher levels of manipulations.

In margin environments, there are lots of possibilities to make you liquidated when you have open positions will availed higher leverages and some exchanges are malpracticing that as an advantage to make easier commissions.

Always i use Spot trade for my crypto trading. But If you are newbe on Crypto trading platform and you want make some money from crypto trading then Your better option is increase your knowledge first about Trading, this is not matter that which trading option is good for Newbe.         Nowadays Everybody think that crypto trading is most easy way for make money, but it is not Correct.   

Not sure if you've heard of Stormgain but they are a crypto + stock exchange with a free cloud "mining" faucet. Whatever you withdraw from the faucet is used for margin trading.

If you're interested to start with a free USDT 3, you can visit the link on my website, under Passive Income Apps. It's quite neat.

all possibilities can happen if you start trading whether you experience profits or losses, therefore if you want to start playing trading, you better study in detail to avoid the risk of loss. for the profit that will be obtained I think it is very likely because the very significant price movements every day make traders to take very large profit.

Margin trading  may sound like a great way to boost your returns, but know what you're getting into. Contributing with margin, or borrowed cash, might appear like a great way to boost your returns. But it's imperative for financial specialists to realize that it's not that basic. So,  it would be better for the beginners and is difficult too.

That is not true, margin trading is not better for beginners, of they try it they will lose, it is bad for beginners to think the way to make money is margin trading, the beginnier will lose, lead to feel of emotion, the best time to lose more until the whole money are gone, do not advise beginners to gamble.

Doing margin trading without having much skills in spot trading will make you feel hard to make a profit because you need to always check on where the price will be and if you are late to execute, you will lose your money. Beside that, if you just gamble with your money doing margin trading, I doubt you will get your lucky to make a profit. I can only suggest you to use spot trading while you can learn more about margin trading and if you think your skills is enough to use margin trading, you can add small money to test your skills before you add more money.

In fact, not only margin trading is intended for professional traders, but also spot trading as well. There is a false opinion that you can become a trader and get a big profit without learning the craft of trading. Without the necessary knowledge, it is very easy to lose your money, but the risk of losing it will increase tenfold if a beginner tries margin trading.

Margin trading require skill to execute profitably! I noticed that top tier centralized cryptocurrency exchange were pushing agressively for their users to margin trade on their platform. I think this is like trap for users regardless of your experience, margin trade risk is very high and you are likely going to be liquidated in a very volatile  market like crypto. Beside, who ensure fair play between traders, exchanges?

In my own opinion, this is much riskier than the traditional manual spot trading. If you want to be profitable in margin trading, you need to be skilled enough to execute that trade. However, that won’t be easy.

However, if you still want to try margin trading, only invest and trade an amount that you can afford losing. It’s better for you to learn more about margin trading first in various free sources and different strategies as well.

You can try but of course it would be really risky, there are many ways to learn like books, articles, now with internet and youtube we can learn a lot without limitation. One thing of course is through experience I believe that you will only fully understand one thing if you experience it so if you try margin trading you will know the rights and wrongs and especially you will know and understand the risk in margin trading.

Maybe I'm bias because of my religion doesn't allow you to make margin trading for your trading needs and I'm pretty much agree with that. It's too much risk to endure if you lose the money you get from margin trading and I would not advise you to use that if you are beginners or even you are not sure on what you do.

In my personal opinion, if I am a beginner, I will not use margins trading at first to start my trading journey.
I will prefer to learn about trading at first in spot trading.
This is safer (although it will also require the risks, I think that the risks are not as high margin and other trading types).
Margin will also you get the leverages, it may double your money but also will also decrease your money very soon if you take the wrong decision of short or long in certain rate and also coins.

However, if you really want to try margin trading, I will suggest you use small margin and small leverage at first in order to secure your funds. Although it will not give big profits, at least, you can learn by doing at first how margin trading is working on and you can have a better and better experience by it.

Those materials will just give you the idea how it goes and will give you background that you need to start. But the real thing is to experience it and better not to follow it up when you think that it's not for you.

Many have tried but didn't find success with it because it's too high risky for them. We don't have the same patience for that so if at first try it didn't worked, stopped.

Yes, Indeed. It is not good for begginers since it is very risky. But, if you will love to take risk and want to try margin trading, then it's your choice. If I were a begginer, I will choose to learn it step by step than doing risky things. Margin trading has lot of opportunities maybe but it was just good for pro users. Margin trading could bring more substantial profits, diversifying your positions, access to more funds, and allows you to learn trading strategies. If you try margin trading, I suggest that start in a small margin in order to secure your funds. Just use your prepared money. Although it will not give you big profit but at least you will learn from it through those experiences.

In trading everything or even i can say mostly depends upon the trader himself that what kind of trader he is and what sort of trading he is going to do. But most importantly the main thing is that the person should be aware of the trading strategies. So, i thing margin trading is good at all. You should make a try with small amount.

A beginner, as a rule, wants to earn a lot and quickly. For this reason, he wants to try his luck using margin trading with a large leverage. And very often, despite warnings about risks, he still uses the margin, in the hope that he will be lucky and as a result loses his money. And after the money is lost, he starts learning the basics of trading or leaves the market.

i think we should not try or speculate our money into part in which we didnt understand or atleast have skills on it. before we start trading in future , we should ask to our self did we have good trading result in our spot market. this is have same ways to analize market with future trade, and if our trades mostly loss better to postponed it and learn again till have better result in spot trading. better to miss opportunity rather than loss our money in market. when it gone it will never back to us.

i do agree we must have good trading history in our spot market trading, it will represent how we will trade in margin or future trades. not all traders have good history in spot market but they desperate to start their future trades due its profits opportunity that could rise more than 1x in each trade. as good investors we should not trapped in this condition , our money safety must be priority.

for beginners should not peg using big money.  make sure to spend a small budget to minimize the risk of loss.  my system is a small profit as long as it continues rather than a big profit but it doesn't last long

Margin trading is not even for experienced traders, it's gambling, pure gambling, with high steaks I must add! Before deciding to try margin trading try to inform as much as you can about it, and try not to risk everything you have... it can become a problem if you risk more than you can handle, and margin is high-risk trading!
For all of us, not just beginners, who are not professionals, it's good to focus on small profit, mid and long-term trades that can surprise you with the rise! If you invest in technology that is worth it will happen sooner or later!

Margin trading is very dangerous if you know little about trading. And going into margin trading as a beginner is by no means the right thing to do. Newcomers have a tendency to make quick profits, and because of this greed they quickly lose their funds and exit the market. When it comes to margin trading, you need to have a lot of knowledge about the market, because the slightest movement of the market while trading margin can put you in trouble.

So leave this margin trading for experts, if you have a lack of knowledge about the market.

I guess I get that it is not easy to trade on margin trading, and I would suggest spot trading for anyone who is starting out, but the question is not "should a beginner prefer spot or margin trading?", if that was the question then I would say that spot trading is a lot better and everyone should focus on that. However the question is if margin trading good for a beginner or not.

I have to say depends on the beginner, if it is a great trader who can understand these type of things, they could always be great at it as well, if he is good at spot trading when starting out, that means he could be good at margin when starting out as well. I have to say that it is obvious for anyone who can learn very well and study very well that starting with either could be very profitable. However if you are bad, then you will be bad in both of them.

Beginners never dive to margin trading this is my advice at all. I am in this market almost 5 years lost and make lots of money but margin is hurst worsth. Even worsth than scam ICO's you have to improve yourself before it except things can go to even till suicide.

Try to take a safe position and learn little by little.Trading on margin is an excellent way for experienced traders to boost their purchasing power and explore trade opportunities that they otherwise couldn’t using on-hand cash alone. However, margin trading comes with significant risks, especially if used incorrectly or to double-down on individual trades, and can make managing your trading accounts more complex. Be careful to fully understand how margin works and spread your risk across a diverse portfolio before jumping headfirst into trading on margin.

It is a need to be aware of how risk this margin trading is compared to spot trading where mostly newbies and even old-timers are still there. There is no wrong about trying, who knows exactly. But can't deny and assume that losses are what we have to get, not profit. Even in spot trading, even experts traders could still be at a loss how much more if know nothing or if we just only know the basics.

That you right,
OP, it was good not to think of getting into a huge profit, better to work on building the fundamentals of your trading journey as this was the ticket for your success.

I think the delicate thing is when the leverage is a lot, in Binance it has x100 which I think is crazy, however many enter with that leverage in margin trading, newbies when they are starting tend to see everything very lightly, and They do not care much, but it is a valid option if they can enter with x5 or x10, since many can predict that the market will go down, however to enter margin trading it is very necessary that they start trading with play money and thus know well the platform and implement their plans or strategies.

Many do not like to enter with play money, and in fact they do not, but it is my highest recommendation to lose play money to lose real money.Most platforms have margin trading, but what I consider to have the most is that in a single operation they can have the option of "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit" so that you can secure your transactions, because if you do not have this control you are likely to lose everything. In my personal case, it helped me a lot when I started with Bitmex, since there are many tools that must be learned to use and it is essential to know them well for operations.

Beginner should learn first how to buy Bitcoin and hold till when its value has appreciate before selling at profit. Margin trading is not for beginners who is still learning because there is a high tendency of them loosing all their capital as a result poor knowledge of how crypto currency margin trading work. Just buy low and hold till you have made profit then sell is my advice for beginners.

We really should be aware of ourselves if we are still beginners, in the sense that we should not impose a will that has not yet become our class, such as margin trading, because this has a greater risk. we have to learn step by step until finally we can go to margin trading with lower risk because we already have the knowledge

Many would say no but I can say yes but don't put too much because for sure you will lose all of it. You can try margin trading for the sake of learning and not earning remember that if you are newbie you need to understand all first before putting too much money to it and of course it might be an expensive lesson but it's worth it.

I think no for newbie user spot trading is best because new user don't have any experience and knowledge so if he do margin trading loos money or which have a better knowledge about margin trading can do it .

It is very risky to work on it because beginner don't have that much knowledge about the trading and they lose most of the money through trading without being having much knowledge about trading and another thing margin trading is risky one for the beginners.

If you think that beginners are not having knowledge then I must say that they should not get into trading at all regardless of it would be spot trading or margin trading. Beginners obviously will not be having experience but they should have sufficient knowledge on trading and that must be the beginning point of their aspiration about trading.

That cannot be a traditional way. If you look for quick trading then losses are the only results you may end up finally. Profits can be made easily when you hold bitcoins which might last up to 4 years of time as well.

Stick with Spot trading first before you do touch up the ground of margin and futures trading because this one isnt really noob friendly. Make yourself better first with spot then thats the time you do consider out on

touching margin but i would recommend that you shouldnt touch up more than 10x leverage or else then you are just simply doing gambling but well its your money then its your choice.

You should be mindful about the risk because if you do just dive in without any doing research and proper experience then you do really put yourself into loss.

I think we need to go step-by-step,
1. spot trading
2. Margin Trading
3. Future trading

It looks like we need to become an expert first to spot trading in preparation for a more risky trade which is margin trading. The idea of choosing margin trading despite being a newbie in trading, I tell you the truth is that you are simply compromising yourselves. if you care about your position, I don't think you dare to try it.

For a beginner?
I think that margin trading is promising. However, if it is for a beginner, I don't think it will work well, This trading also requires higher risks than spot trading.
So, I will better suggest you spot trading at first than margin as also other members here said.
But, if you have had a good experience and also learning, you may do it by process, learning by doing. But you must set up the risks and be ready for them.

I agree with this.

And btw, also consider using the stop-loss feature if any. Learn it more and maybe it will be helpful someday

Actually, you don't have to be an expert, if you already know what basic trading looks like and how it works, that's enough to get into trading. Trading spot, margin or futures is equally risky. However, trading on margin and futures carries a higher risk and loses money more quickly if we don't know about how it works. For spot trading, I think it's safer. Beginners should start spot trading to practice their skills, it will be better.

Just don't use the money you need to enter the trade. Always use free money so that there will be no burden when trading does not match expectations.

But if we wanted to gain more from trading learning the basics is not good enough IMO. It means that we need to take the risk as that is how trading is meant to be and that is how it works. if we are afraid to lose and doubted our doings, there is nothing that will happen to us, and have nothing to expect then.

Becoming a pro trader was an ambition and that gonna be happen if we have the courage to learn more and face the challenges. And we don't just be contented only learning the basics but have to look more.

Mainly it depends upon the trader that how can he invest and how much he has the ability to work on and can lose the money, because trading starts with experience and if someone wanted to start trading he should have some knowledge about the trading and only it is good for them though.

the basics are not enough, but greater knowledge starts from the basics first. Don't wait until you become an expert to be able to trade.

You can take risks as long as you know the risks involved. but it's better to learn from the mistakes of others, because it will be a warning for us not to get caught up in those mistakes. Fear of losing is natural, but must minimize the loss.

Everything does require a process, nothing is done instantly.

Whatever do, firstly, try to learn it properly then it will be easier for you to do well. Without proper knowledge and real life experience, it is very tough to good in trading. All the traders are not same and as a beginner, it is necessary to learn perfectly.

If you have not mastered spot trading, you should not use leverage and if you have mastered spot trading, you do not need to use leverage.
So why take an extra risk on an already risky asset class?

Too many people think they can get rich quick, they don't realize they are gambling short term

So to speak. Margin trading is unforgiving.
If, with a deposit of $ 100 in regular trading, you can sometimes afford to make mistakes, then with a margin, the price of your mistakes will be in direct proportion to the leverage that you will take.

As a beginner I believe its very bad to start with a marginal trading because the chances of losing your funds is very high because I believe you don't have enough idea. I believe the profit for marginal trading is very high that's why people are always after marginal trading but the risk is also very high. So as a newbie I believe you should definitely start with spot trading and because the risk of losing money is not that high compare to marginal trading.

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?

And majority of noobs would be most likely directly going with maximum leverage and in result? Total blown out of capital in a short span of time. When you are just noob and tending to step your foot into margin
or leverage then this is something that you cant really deal with it actively or simply would really requiring enough experience and risk management not that could be possible for a newbie to have.
It is never been good of beginners but there are people who do really love to step their foot even if they do know that they arent doing something good into it.

Everything you say is absolutely true, margin trading has a very high risk, the possibility of us losing money is very large. Especially for beginners who
don't have the knowledge and experience, it will definitely end badly if they dare to try margin trading. We should not be easily attracted by the large
profits that can be obtained from margin trading, but we also have to think about the risks we will face. Newbies should focus on spot trading first,
which has much less risk and is relatively safe if done correctly. After successful with spot trading, there is no problem in trying margin trading.

But the question stands for the beginners or newbies in which you did not directly answered .

For me marginal trading is good for everyone aside from newbie because they don't even know how to handle this .

best if they will try even arbitrage than marginal strategy.

well you have generally mentioned what is important in the field of profiteering and that is knowledge and ability because no matter how you put effort yet wont enough.

No it's not best for beginners because this is risky trade and only expert person handle this so if beginer want to do margin trade then need to first learn all about market then do trade easily

- Being a statue and being frozen for a long time is not the need of most traders, emotions are complicated due to the nature of a statue to look at the victory and sublimation of others, it can be said that many people hate silences and let time pass by them vaguely, transaction spaces need to store and represent their existence, curious and going to margin trading is like entering the path of death, their souls will be kept there. In short, leverage is how we provoke a big monster as the exchange platform, once they counterattack, more money is not enough to lose

Despite the thing that we wanted to make some more money in trading but never get in mind to rush on it as this field isn't for everyone nor you can make it so fast without learning the basics first. To choose margin trading it is your decision but has to think it first that this is a little bit completed if we compared to spot trading where most trader had often to choose. Maybe, if you think that you are capable enough then it's up to you but knowing you are a newbie, it was really not a good decision.
