Understanding Forex Margin

Margin is the amount of money required to open a leveraged trading position. It acts as a deposit or collateral for the trade.

Key Concepts

  • Required Margin — The minimum amount needed to open the position
  • Free Margin — Available funds for new positions (Balance - Used Margin)
  • Margin Level — Percentage of equity to margin (above 100% is safe)
  • Margin Call — Occurs when margin level falls below 100%

Leverage Explained

Leverage allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. For example:

  • 1:30 leverage — Control $30,000 with $1,000
  • 1:100 leverage — Control $100,000 with $1,000

Higher leverage = Higher risk. Always use proper risk management.
