Understanding Margin in Trading
Margin is the collateral your broker requires to open a leveraged position. With 100:1 leverage, a $100,000 position only requires $1,000 in margin.
Margin level (equity / used margin) tells you how close you are to a margin call. Most brokers trigger a margin call below 100% and start liquidating positions below 50%.
Always calculate your margin requirements before trading. Use our liquidation price calculator to find your exact liquidation level, and the lot size calculator to properly size your positions.
