How to Use the Margin Calculator
Margin is the amount of money required in your account to open and maintain a leveraged trading position. The Margin Calculator instantly determines this required amount, preventing unexpected margin calls.
Key Inputs:
- Instrument: Select the currency pair, metal, or crypto you want to trade.
- Account Currency: Ensure this matches the currency your broker account is denominated in.
- Leverage: Input your broker's provided leverage for the specific asset (e.g., 1:100, 1:500).
- Trade Size (Lots): Input the volume of your trade.
Pro Tip: Never risk opening a trade that consumes more than 5% to 10% of your total free margin. High leverage drastically reduces required margin, but drastically increases the risk of a margin stop-out during volatility spikes.
