What is Margin?

Margin is the amount of funds from your account Equity that is reserved to maintain an open trading position.

When opening a trade, a certain amount of funds is set aside as margin. This is not a trading fee or cost, but a portion of your available funds temporarily held while the position remains open.

Once the position is closed, the reserved margin will be released and returned to your account.

Understanding margin requirements helps you to:

• Evaluate the risk exposure of your open positions.
• Monitor your available funds.
• Determine whether you have sufficient margin to open additional positions.
• Manage your account more effectively.

Always ensure you maintain sufficient margin levels to support your trading activities.
