What is margin?

Margin is the deposit your broker holds to open a leveraged position — not a fee, but capital set aside. Higher leverage means less margin is required for the same position.

The formula

Required margin = (position size in units × price) ÷ leverage. Remember: lower margin from high leverage also magnifies your risk — a small move can trigger a margin call.
