What is Margin?

Margin is the amount of funds required to open or maintain a leveraged trading position. It acts as a good faith deposit to cover potential losses.

With leverage of 1:100, you only need $1,000 to control a position worth $100,000 in the market.

Understanding Margin Levels

Low Risk (< 5%)

Position uses less than 5% of your account balance as margin. Safe for most trading styles.

Moderate Risk (5% - 20%)

Position uses 5% to 20% of your account balance as margin. Be cautious with multiple positions.

High Risk (> 20%)

Position uses more than 20% of your account balance as margin. High risk of margin call if market moves against you.

Margin Safety Tips
  • Never use more than 20% of your account as margin for all positions combined
  • Be aware of your broker's margin call and stop-out levels
  • Higher leverage increases both potential profits and risks
  • Always use stop-loss orders to protect your positions
