Quick Margin 101: Margin trading made simple

OKX Quick Margin offers the most powerful and intuitive margin trading experience in crypto. Here’s how it works.

Before diving in the specifics of the product, we’ll cover briefly what margin trading is and how Quick Margin works. In this explainer, we’ll cover:

  • What is margin trading
  • What is Quick Margin
  • How to use Quick Margin on the OKX website
  • How to use Quick Margin on the OKX app

1. What is margin trading?

Traders use margin trading when they borrow money to increase their trading capacity. In traditional finance, the “margin” refers to the money used as collateral to secure a loan, which is itself used to open a trading position. The difference between the total value of the trade and the amount borrowed is called the margin. In crypto, traders usually borrow from an exchange such as OKX and leverage their margin in multiples to amplify potential gains or losses.

Margin traders also use other terms:

  • Collateral: The part of the trade that will be paid with the trader’s own funds.
  • Leverage: The part of the trade that will be paid with borrowed funds. If the trader funds 50% of the trade with your own money, they are trading at 2X leverage.
  • Transferred Assets: Assets transferred from a trading account to a margin position.
  • Borrowed Assets: Assets in the margin position that have been borrowed.

2. What is Quick Margin?

Quick Margin provides users with a simple and direct approach to leveraged trading. Quick Margin comes in two modes:

  • Manual Mode, where borrowing can be carried out independently before the order is placed.
  • Automatic Mode, where borrowing and repaying will only be carried out once the order is successfully filled.

Now, let’s walk through a hypothetical example using Quick Margin. Assume the current price of Bitcoin is 20,000 USDT. You have two choices. You can either choose to:

  • Long BTC: Buy at what you think is a low price and sell at what you think is a high price
  • Short BTC: Sell BTC at what you think is a high price and buy it at what you think is a low price

Let’s say you believe the price of Bitcoin will rise and you want to multiply your potential return. You could then establish a long position on BTC using Quick Margin. If you decide to post 10,000 USDT as collateral and borrow 10,000 USDT, you are trading at 2x leverage. This means if Bitcoin’s price increases by 10%, your position will yield a 20% (2x10%) profit. Alternatively, if the price of Bitcoin decreases by 10%, your position will yield a 20% loss.

3. How to use Quick Margin on Web

As explained above, Quick Margin comes in two modes, Manual and Automatic. Here, we’ll cover first how to use Quick Margin with Manual Mode, and then explain how to use it with Automatic Mode.

1. Manual Mode

  1. From the OKX.com homepage, hover over Trade and then click on Margin.

  2. Within the trading interface, click on the gears icon on the top right hand corner of the page to access your settings. In your settings, click on the Isolated margin trading settings drop-down menu and select Quick margin mode.

  3. Select the trading pair you wish to trade on margin.

  4. Under the trading window you will see Manual mode as the default option with the option to either Buy or Sell. Before moving forward, click Transfer.

  5. The Transfer menu allows you to enter the amount you’d like to move from your trading account into your margin position. This is the collateral you would use for the trade. When you’re satisfied with the amount (in this hypothetical example, you would transfer in 10,000 USDT), click Confirm.

    Confirm transfer amount

  6. Click Borrow and you can then select how much you'd like to borrow Let’s say you need 20,000 USDT to complete your trade and have already transferred 10,000 USDT from your trading account.

Now, you can select the USDT price and the amount of BTC you want to trade. When you’re satisfied with these parameters, click either on Buy (Long) BTC or Sell (Short) BTC, depending on what trade direction you prefer. For the sake of example, we’ll imagine you want to Buy (Long) 1 BTC.
