Margin trading & short selling

Margin trading: Involves borrowing money from your broker to purchase securities, which uses your account assets as collateral. However, it's essential to remember that margin trading comes with interest charges and fees.

Short selling: Involves borrowing shares from your broker and selling them in the hope of buying them back at a lower price in the future. Your account assets are used as collateral for this transaction, and there are interest charges and fees that apply. Eventually, you must return the borrowed shares to your broker by purchasing them on the market.
