How is margin calculated?
Margin is calculated based on the trade size and the leverage used.
In simple terms:
- Margin = Trade Size ÷ Leverage
For example, if you open a position worth $10,000 and use 1:100 leverage, the required margin would be $100.
The higher the leverage, the lower the margin required to open a trade.
