# Trading

Aries Trade allows users to execute **Spot Margin Trading**.

Spot Margin Trading is relatively similar to Spot Trading, but allows the use of borrowed funds to capitalize on the future movements of an underlying asset. Margin accounts on Aries Lend allow users to borrow from its shared liquidity pool.

Aries Trade, offers **Cross-Collateralization.** Users can trade with margin via a single unified margin account with a variety of assets deposited.

## Central Limit Order Book Order placement

Aries Trade is powered by a decentralized order book, where users can execute both market and limit orders.

To place an order, users can first select your preferred trading pair. Users can switch among different trading markets on the top left corner.
