Leveraged trading can amplify your potential profits - but it also comes with increased risks. OKX's new One-Click Borrowing feature streamlines margin trading by simplifying the borrowing process while maintaining full control over your positions.
What Is Leveraged Trading?
In traditional finance, margin refers to collateral deposited to secure a loan for asset acquisition. The same principle applies to cryptocurrency trading:
- Margin: Your own capital used as collateral
- Leverage: The multiplier effect on your position (e.g., 2x, 5x, 10x)
- Borrowed Assets: Digital assets loaned from the exchange
- Transferred Assets: Funds moved from your main account to margin account

One-Click Borrowing Explained
This innovative feature offers two operation modes:
Manual Mode
- Full control over borrowing amounts
- Requires pre-trade borrowing actions
- Ideal for precise position sizing
Automatic Mode
- System calculates required loan amount
- Borrowing occurs only after order execution
- Streamlines the trading process
Example Scenario:
BTC price = $20,000
Your capital = $10,000
Borrowed = $10,000 (2x leverage)
If BTC rises 10% to $22,000:
- Position value = $22,000
- Repay $10,000 loan
- Keep $12,000 (20% profit on original $10,000)
