confused about margin and CFD

Question

Guest andyls

Hi all, 
I am very new to CFD. Therefore, I need help about this.

I just deposited 1000AUD into IG and invested 2 USA company CFD shares at 50 UNITS OF $10 AND 20UNITS OF $30. i discovered that I had actually
paid AUD1128 for the 2 investments. There is an extra of $128. Is this known as the margin?. Is this an amount like a loan from IG. 
If the market is against me,IG will ask me for extra payment which will be higher than the money i deposited.
 I was notified in writing that my account will be assigned with a limited risk account (with negative balance protection).
 Is my account totally protected?
Next, I also discovered that I can even withdraw up to $788 worth of funds which is really confusing. Why AUD788? I deposited only 1000AUD and have already spent everything on the 2 shares with an extra of $128.
Please advise. Thanks

    • I'm very impressed with the way DOGE triumphed in the market over the years. Could CATE replicate that? Btw, will invest with some bucks that I'm willing to sacrifice.
    • In a bearish crypto market, one effective strategy for holders to safeguard and grow their portfolios is through earning campaigns on exchanges. These campaigns provide opportunities to earn passive income, even when prices are down. Exchanges like Bitget, Binance, and Coinbase are increasingly introducing new staking options and flexible savings plans that let users earn interest on their holdings. By diversifying across different earning programs, you can reduce risk while enjoying returns without the need for active trading.  Moreover, earning campaigns often foster a sense of community, encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing. For instance, the recent "Double Your Profit & Cover Your Losses" campaign, featuring a $25,000 prize pool, has been a valuable opportunity for participants to soften the impact of the bear market. Personally, I've joined this campaign, and the market seems to be picking up. In essence, staying informed and participating in these campaigns can help you maintain steady income and ride out market volatility, positioning yourself for long-term gains.
    • So many hype on $CATE in the industry. The token is already up by 18% since this announcement. The tokenomics looks ok
