Bitcoin Forum

I am aware that only Poloniex has margin trading and short selling. Are there other exchanges where they are allowed? Some people in this forum say that Bittrex allows it also but I cannot find them in their exchange.

Please list the exchanges that allow them. Thank you.

Bittrex has announced it, but not active yet.

So far only Poloniex does it.

Ok. When was the annoucement made and how long has it been since? I hope it was not too long ago that they might have forgotten about it or dumped the idea. That would be not good because we need more exchanges that offers a wider range of services.

i only know about poloniex has margin trading and short selling, the other i don't know. maybe if for another fiat to btc, you can try with huobi. huobi used cny-btc. for me, poloniex is good in margin tradin and short selling, and the exchanger is good too.

You may check bter.com i heard sometime ago that they offer margin trading and some other bonuses on their platform.

I now see why Poloniex is a preferred choice, maybe Bifinex can learn from that in order to bounce back on its feet.

So far I only now poloniex but i guess there are others too. Remember that shorting assets can be very risky and you may end up losing a lot of you coins. So trade careful.
If you are serious about it consider only reputable exchanges.

I think that it is possible that it could collapse with less and less people trusting the stockmarket. It is really not that great of an investment in my opinion...

bittrex not allower this margin trading, not support margin short margin long and about lending

At CEX.IO, we offer BTC and ETH margin trading. (https://cex.io/margin-trading)
You can trade BTC/USD, BTC/EUR and ETH/BTC with 1:2 and 1:3 leverage.
It is easy even for beginners and has the following advantages:

Automatic funds borrowing
Borrowing funds is done automatically and simultaneously with position placement.

No extra accounts
There is no need to open any extra margin accounts to trade with leverage.

Negative balance protection
Risk-preventing system guarantees that margin trading cannot move your balance to negative values.

Guaranteed stop loss
The system reserves part of the order book for position to be closed at the price, not worse than stop loss.

Efficient rollover fee
Rollover fee is charged only while position is opened and is not charged for the first 4 hours.

Will be glad to see you among users of CEX.IO. (https://cex.io/trade)

I noticed Bittrex has also started offering Margin trading, however it is to select countries - don't know why.

what countries are supported? has there been any change?

polo is unusable with all this traffic..

bittrex support margin trading, but must high verification account, only support margin trading without lending
bitfinex service is same poloniex, margin trading and lending too
kraken support margin trading without lending

allowing shorting is a good thing actually, it maintains better price stability and liquidity. Margin.. not  so much.
