Understanding Required Margin
Margin is the part of your own funds set aside to open and hold a leveraged position. Knowing how it is calculated helps you size each trade and keep clear of a margin call.
The Required Margin is derived from the following formula: (Amount * Instrument Price) / Leverage + (Amount * Spread).
The Initial Margin, also called the Initial Margin Requirement, is the percentage of a financial instrument's price you pay with your own money. It's the collateral needed to start a margin position. The Required Margin, or Margin Requirement, is what you need to open and maintain a position, plus the initial loss from the spread.
