So what exactly is Waves margin trading?

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

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

Manage your trading strategies on a simple interface

With Kraken, Waves margin trading is intuitive and accessible. Easily trade up to 2-3x leverage on liquid markets whether you're placing a market or limit order.
