FAQ
How is margin calculated?›
Margin is calculated by dividing the total position value by the leverage ratio. For example, a $10,000 position with 10:1 leverage requires $1,000 in margin. Higher leverage means less margin but greater risk.
What happens if my margin level drops too low?›
When your margin level drops below the broker's maintenance margin requirement (often around 50-100%), you receive a margin call. If you do not deposit additional funds, the broker may automatically close your positions to limit further losses.
