Margin trading is quite simple and easy to understand. However, a trader must get used to x times higher volatility of their open positions. It also raises capital requirements for the trading compared to a non-margin trading.
In my opinion, the best way to learn is to practice and get used to the market rather than studying too much theoretical stuff that we can not apply at this time. It can be said that the market in this time is still in the downward trend with nothing to change I still choose Long btc.

Forex being so old in the trading business, I think it would be ideal to learn the forex trading basics. Information is readily available on the web especially YouTube.
Margin trading is a popular term in trading, forex or cryotocurrency, and there are numerous articles, videos and tutorials available for anyone willing to learn.
If you have issues with a specific area, you can bring it up for discussion, but margin trading in general does not warrant a thread.

People do not realize how big of a gamble it is to do margin trading when you are not very well versed in trading and have high experience doing regular trading.
People are filled with greed. Crypto itself is crazy volatile by nature, and it still isn't enough for people. I used to occasionally invest in stocks before Bitcoin, and if I did well, I ended with 10-20% at the end of the year, which if you ask people what they think about these gains, they'll laugh right in your face. That's it? I make that in a week! That's the sort of reaction you'll be getting from them.However, they lack the knowledge and the fact that your money gets cashed out very quickly if you bet the wrong direction and leverage it too high like x100.
I frequently come across complaints from noobs claiming that they have been hacked or that the exchange stole their funds because their balance is gone. They are too stupid to realize what the features they use actually mean. They only see 0.1BTC x 50 = 5BTC = huge profit.I wouldn't recommend anyone at this point to go short on any crypto currency. It's too late already. Just sit it out and do nothing.

If you are going to engage yourself in margin trading, let me give you a tip from personal experience. It will help you enormously if you execute it properly and you won't lose all your money in a single swing as many other margin traders often do.
Learn how to set a stop loss for every trade you make!
No exception to this rule, never ever, no matter how much your gut feeling tells you you don't need one in this particular trade.
I can't overemphasize this point. Seriously, first thing you need to do is this.
And secondly, set your stop loss in such a way that if your trade goes the wrong way you never lose more than say 2% of your entire portfolio.
Good luck!

It was the same people who got into bitcoin during late 2017 in order to get rich quickly and become wealthy in one day because some xcoin they bought did x100 and they have money to buy a house thanks to it. That didn't happen and the price went down and now they are trying to recover that loss and try to make even more in profits for the same dream by leveraging their trades and doing margin trading in order to get richer with shorter amount of time compared to waiting. However, they lack the knowledge and the fact that your money gets cashed out very quickly if you bet the wrong direction and leverage it too high like x100.

Everyone who wants to enter the trading world must have knowledge about margin trading. margin trading is a very basic thing that must be understood, in essence we have to determine how to sell at a much higher price than when we bought it. But the situation is sometimes difficult to predict and with this knowledge we will achieve the best choice in trading.
What you describe is just regular trading activities. Margin trading is essentially calculated gambling on price action. You borrow money from the providers and then use that to enter a short or long position. If you choose the right direction you'll gain profit, but if not you'll lose your money as much as the amount of your margin. It is very risky but gives you better options to make profits especially in a bear market like this.
