What is Margin?

Margin is the amount of money required in your account to open a leveraged position. It acts as a good faith deposit to cover potential losses. The margin requirement is typically expressed as a percentage of the full position size.

For example, with 1:100 leverage, you need 1% of the position value as margin. A $100,000 position would require $1,000 in margin.

Understanding Leverage

Leverage allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. While it can amplify profits, it also magnifies losses.

1:50 Leverage 2% Margin
1:100 Leverage 1% Margin
1:200 Leverage 0.5% Margin
1:500 Leverage 0.2% Margin

Risk Warning

Trading on margin involves significant risk. While leverage can amplify profits, it also magnifies losses. You may lose more than your initial deposit. Always understand the risks before trading with leverage and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
