How It Works
How margin is calculated.
Margin is the amount of capital required to open and hold a leveraged position.
The Formula
Required Margin = (Lots × Contract Size × Price) ÷ Leverage
For example, 1 lot of EUR/USD (100,000 units) at 1.0900 with 1:100 leverage requires $1,090 in margin. Higher leverage lowers the margin needed — but increases risk. Always trade within your means.
