Margin Requirement
A margin requirement is the amount or proportion of capital a trading platform requires to open or maintain a leveraged position. Different requirements may apply when opening a position and while keeping it open.
Why it matters to you
Margin requirements determine how much capital must support a position and therefore influence the amount of leverage available. They can vary by market, platform, position size and risk tier.
