How It Works

Margin is the collateral your broker requires to open a leveraged position. With 1:100 leverage, you need only $1,000 margin to control $100,000 worth of currency. This calculator shows exactly how much of your account balance will be locked as margin for any trade. Understanding margin requirements helps you avoid margin calls and plan multiple positions without overextending your account. Always maintain sufficient free margin to withstand market volatility and keep positions open during temporary drawdowns.
