Leverage lets you control a larger position with a smaller deposit. Understand how margin works, what triggers a margin call — and calculate your requirement instantly.
Leverage lets you open a position much larger than your deposit. With 1:500 leverage, $1,000 controls a $500,000 position — magnifying both potential profits and potential losses.
Margin is the amount of your own funds required to open and maintain a leveraged position. It isn't a fee — it's set aside as collateral and released when you close the trade.
