For awhile [Bitcoinica](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoinica) was a very popular leveraged trading service, but it got hacked and closed down. Are there any more services like that still functioning in the Bitcoin ecosystem?

You can find some brokers which allow leveraged BTC/USD trading [here](http://forexreviewjournal.com/bitcoin-trading-review-platforms-robots-strategies).

Make sure that you're aware of the risks involved in such investment as bitcoin value became extremely volatile lately and the leverage makes it even more dangerous.

Also don't forget to examine the broker's security system. As mentioned above, bitcoin marketplaces are hackers favorite target nowadays.
