For instance, if he transfers USDT as the deposited margin, then he can use USDT to borrow and then buy-in BTC, when BTC rises to his desired price, he will sell BTC to get more USDT for repayment, which means, after paying off the USDT debts, the rest will be his profit.
Margin trading is not only increases the gain but also may magnify the loss. Therefore, if the market trends does not acting the way Frank expected, then his losses will be greater.
