Margin
Basics
Qué significa
The cash you must deposit to open and keep a leveraged position. It is collateral your broker holds while you trade with borrowed funds.
Ejemplo
To hold a $10,000 position at 10x leverage, you need $1,000 of margin. If your loss eats into that $1,000 and falls below the maintenance level, the broker issues a margin call.
Error común de principiantes
