In more general terms, marging trading is pretty much the same as trading with borrowed money. In most cases it's done to enhance gains, but it works both ways which means that it could just as easily result in deeper losses in case the market works against you. I don't recommend any newbie to play around with this, especially not when it comes to crypto as severely volatile asset class. In other words, don't do it.

Even regular trading is a losing practice for most people, especially with how the market has a bearish bias to it right now. Dollar cost averaging is the most noob friendly investment strategy there is. Newbies should stick to buying Bitcoin and keep it offline for a longer period of time. Focus on that.

Also avoid altcoins. It's just not worth it.

I don't use margin trading because IMO it somewhat resembles gambling. That being said, I know that some non-margin traders use the signals collected from margin trading to short or long their positions on exchanges.

If you want to learn more about margin or leverage trading, here are some threads you might find useful:

P.S. If you are a newbie, don't get into margin trading straight away. Start with "normal" day trading, or long term investments.
