Available Margin

Available margin is the amount of eligible account capital currently available to support existing positions or open additional ones. Its exact calculation varies by platform.

Why it matters to you

A trader may have money in an account without all of it being available for another trade. Existing positions, open orders, unrealized losses and platform margin rules can reduce the amount available. Watching available margin helps traders understand how much remaining capacity their account has.
