Margin Watcher


All account information is updated on a tick-by-tick basis giving traders a complete view of their account activity. The default margin requirement for a standard account is 1% and 0.5% for mini accounts. Traders have the ability to select the degree of leverage they wish to use. Margin requirements are fixed for both intraday trading and for positions held overnight.*
  • Real-time margin tracker
  • Multiple leverage options*
  • Never Pay Debit Balances!
Based on each trader's margin requirement, the FX Trading Station will calculate in real time both the funds needed to maintain current positions (used margin) and the funds available for taking new positions (usable margin). If the equity in the account drops below the margin required maintaining the open positions, a margin call will occur and some or all open positions may be closed by the Trading Desk at the market price. This provides protection against accounts falling below the account equity, particularly in volatile or fast moving markets.

*Leverage is a double-edged sword. Without proper risk management, this high degree of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
