Margin Explaination


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am very new to the platform, I have opened a Demo account to trial my first ever trading strategy. My confidence and knowledge is growing with each trade that I make so I am nearing transferring to a live account and depositing a nice wallet to try my hand, however I have been trying to figure out how the margin works and if I am able to reduce the margin? I fear leverage as I know that the losses can be amplified, I just want some clarification on what the margin actually represents on the platform? 

I thank anyone in advance for their assistance.

Hi @Trader9918, the margin requirements for Forex can be find on : https://www.ig.com/au/help-and-support/cfds/fees-and-charges/what-are-igs-forex-cfd-product-details

Unfortunately, you won't be able to change the margin requirements as they have been recently changed as per ASIC regulations, more details here.

CFDs are leveraged products, meaning you don’t have to pay the full value of your exposure to deal. Instead, you only need to put up a fraction of your trade’s total value to open your position. This opening amount is called initial margin – it is also sometimes referred to as deposit margin.

Finally, the margin requirements can be find on the link above or on the platform on the deal ticket and the 'info' tab then 'Margin requirements':

All the best - Arvin

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
    • I am anticipating the impact of this listing on Mongy.
