Note: We ask that you consider the risks associated with increasing your leverage. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit, this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin and you may be required to deposit additional funds to cover a short margin position. Learn more about margin trading risks.

Margin Based Trading

Trading in the currency markets requires a trader to think in a slightly different way about margin. Margin on the forex is not a down payment on a future purchase of equity but a deposit to the trader's account that will cover against any currency-trading losses in the future. A typical currency trading system will allow for a very high degree of leverage in its margin requirements, up to 400:1 in some cases. The system will automatically calculate the funds necessary for current positions and will check for margin availability before executing any trade.
