Trading

Understand leverage. Watch your margin.

Leverage increases exposure. Margin level helps you understand the relationship between equity and used margin.

Margin level, explained

Margin level = equity ÷ used margin × 100. For example, $600 equity and $200 used margin gives a margin level of 300%. This arithmetic example does not predict account performance.

03

Two different thresholds

Margin call

A warning level indicating reduced margin capacity. Monitor the account and review exposure; do not rely on receiving a separate message.

Stop out

Positions may be closed automatically when the account reaches the applicable stop-out threshold. Fast markets can affect the closing price.

04

Check each symbol

Maximum leverage varies by instrument. Review your account and the symbol specification before trading. A maximum is a limit, not a recommendation.
