Margin Trading

Margin trading uses borrowed funds to take a position larger than your account balance. The borrowed amount is collateralized by your assets and is automatically liquidated if losses approach the collateral value. Perpetual futures are the most common form of margin trading on-chain — Hyperliquid offers up to 50x leverage with isolated or cross-margin modes.
