FAQ
Margin is the amount of capital required to open a leveraged trade. It is a percentage of the total trade size, based on the leverage used.
It calculates the exact margin requirement for a trade, preventing overexposure and unexpected margin calls.
A margin call happens when your account balance falls below the required margin, forcing the broker to close some or all trades automatically.
Higher leverage lowers your required margin but increases trade risk. Example: With 1:100 leverage, you only need $1,000 margin for a $100,000 trade.
