Account setup and collateral deposit:

Borrowing funds:

After the collateral deposit process is over, the traders can begin their crypto trade by borrowing the funds according to the broker or exchange's leverage ratio.

Opening positions:

Then, traders place trades on different positions, such as price increases or decreases, using borrowed funds from the lender. Here, the entire position value that includes borrowed funds gets involved in the market movements.

Profit or loss calculation:

The profit and loss are calculated through market movements; for example, if a person gains 10% on a $10000 position with $1000 as an initial deposit, then it is considered to be profitable with double the initial amount. Similarly, if the person incurs a loss at the same percentage, it wipes out the entire amount, including the initial deposit.

Liquidation or position closure:

In this trade, if there is a loss, then the exchange automatically liquidates the position to protect the lender, and the trader can also visualize their profit and loss through closing the position manually. And finally, the lender gets the borrowed amount entirely with its interest, and the existing profit or loss is credited to the trader's account directly.
