Calculate required collateral, maintenance levels, and liquidation risk before opening your leveraged positions.
If your Margin Ratio drops below the maintenance requirement, your position may be liquidated. Always ensure you have enough available balance to cover volatility.
Required capital to open position
Price at which you lose collateral
Your current margin ratio is 5.0%. A ratio of 100% means immediate liquidation.
Initial Margin: This is the amount of collateral required to open a leveraged position. For example, at 10x leverage, you only need $100 to control a $1,000 position.
Maintenance Margin: This is the minimum amount of equity you must maintain in your account to keep a position open. If your account equity falls below this level, you will face a margin call or immediate liquidation.
Notional Value: This is the total market value of your position (Price × Quantity). It is the amount you are actually "trading" with, even if you only put up a fraction as margin.
Isolated vs Cross Margin: Isolated margin limits your risk to the collateral put up for a specific trade. Cross margin uses your entire account balance as collateral to prevent liquidation.
