So what exactly is Ampleforth margin trading?

Ampleforth margin trading lets you buy and sell AMPL using funds that could exceed the balance of your account. Unlike futures and derivatives trading, spot Ampleforth margin trading involves buying or selling the actual underlying assets, rather than financial contracts.

For example:
Suppose you fund an account with $5,000 USD. Using an extension of margin, you could buy or sell $10,000 USD worth of AMPL/USD on a AMPL/USD order book with this account.
