Maybe you mean binary trading, not margin trading?
I mean what I have. It is margin trading. I don't even want to talk about binary options. This is mostly a scam and you can lose money there even faster than on a margin trade.
However I also understand people who compare them together because margin trading is the most high risk trading there is out there and that usually means that you will have to end up with a lot of losses most of the time, and even the slightest wrong means that you will lose all of your money and it will get liquidated. This is why I believe that we should not be making any judgment over people who think margin trading is like gambling because the high risk is the same, just the rewards are different.
This statement is valid only if you are using large leverage and your price range between the entry point and the liquidation is very narrow, for example ~$5000. It happened that the market passed this distance in less than a day, so liquidation occurs very quickly. But if you have the lowest risk, then it is much more difficult for the market to liquidate you. Because between the entry point and the liquidation level, there can be ~$20 000-$30 000. In this range, you can sit out corrections and temporary dumps. This is exactly what most margin traders fail, namely to wait out temporary market spikes when the market has gone in the wrong direction. Therefore, in such surges, we often see messages about the next amount of liquidations of $7-10 billion.
