What is margin, and how do margin calls work?

margin is the amount of funds required to open and maintain a leveraged position; consider it as collateral to open and maintain trades.

A margin call occurs when your margin level reaches 100% of your used margin. A stop out occurs when your margin level reaches 30% (or 40% for accounts using 1:2000 leverage), at which point the platform may automatically close losing trades.
