What is free margin?
Free margin is the amount of money in your account that is available to open new trades or maintain existing ones.
It is calculated as your equity minus the margin used for open positions.
If your free margin runs low, you may not be able to open new trades, and your positions could be closed automatically if equity falls depleting your account balance.
