All you need to know about Margin Trading
What is Margin Trading? Margin trading is a way of trading where investors borrow money from brokers to buy more stocks than they can afford. This allows them to potentially earn higher profits. The borrowed money is later repaid when the investors sell their stocks. It helps investors to invest more and increase their chances of making bigger profits.
