Margin trading involves borrowing money from a broker to trade assets, allowing traders to control a larger position than their initial investment. In trading, margin trading amplifies potential profits but also increases risk, as losses can exceed the amount invested. Traders must maintain a minimum margin requirement to avoid a margin call, where the broker demands additional funds to cover losses. Margin trading is common in forex, stocks, and derivatives markets, but it requires careful risk management and understanding of leverage.
