Hi @sapwood,
This is good information you mentioned and All In One Post.
As per my trading background, I see that Poloniex has available good options on its exchange platform, but experienced can understand this than newbies.
Lending is a good option available for the safe traders which allow earning interest rates on their available cryptos.
Poloniex takes 15% of the lending fees.
Taking fees for lending but still, according to the Poloniex, a lender should be aware that the ability of the borrower to repay their loan is not guaranteed.
However, the system is designed to protect lenders, there is still a risk of loss.
We can say this is the nature of investment and investment always come up with risk.
Assessment is one of the good implementations by Poloniex as a person who has a small amount but still likes to enter into the trading so at initial or in the learning phase they can use this platform and trade.
It will also help them to understand more about Poloniex and hands-on experience on this exchange before making big investments.
Thank You.
Here the ability of the borrower is defined by the set condition in the Poloniex engine which only recognizes the Maintenance margin and the collateral, and both are sufficient to guarantee that the recovery of the debt is mathematically possible. The maintenance margin is kept at 20%, so as to make sure that even during extremely volatile condition the position does not plunge into a negative balance, that will protect both margin traders and lenders.
Thank you for stopping by.
This is nice and actually needs such conditions to make assurance on such a feature.
