Margin

## Fields All values are in displayed in conversion to the platform root asset: **Your margin level** The ratio of your funds to a used collateral, in percents. This value is calculated as *Equity* / *Used margin* × 100%. Possible values: * **Empty**: No open positions. * **Low risk**: Everything is ok. * **Margin call**: Your margin level fell below the set Margin call value. You received a notification urging you to increase the margin level to avoid a Stop out. Remember that if you ignore this warning, the margin level may continue to decrease. During the Margin call, you can only close existing positions; opening new positions isn’t possible. * **Stop out level**: Your margin level fell below the set Stop out value; the platform started a process of liquidating your positions. This process continues until the margin level exceeds this required value. **ANY** currently open position can be closed regardless of its side and volume. *** **Margin balance** The total amount of your funds that can be used as a collateral for CFD trading. It’s calculated as Σ(*TotalAmountX* × *MarginRatioX* × *Rate X/RAT*), where: * *TotalAmountX* is the the total amount of the asset X, including both available and locked funds. * *MarginRatioX* is the Margin ratio set for the asset X. * *Rate X/RAT* is the constantly updated rate of the asset X to the platform root asset. The Margin balance is continually recalculated based on price fluctuations. An increase in the prices of assets boosts available Balance & Free margin. Conversely, a decrease in asset prices may reduce the available Balance and Free margin. Additionally, a decline in the prices of assets with open positions may trigger Margin calls and Stop outs. *** **Equity** The potential balance of your account if all your positions were closed right now. This value is calculated as *Margin balance* + *Unrealized PnL*. *** **Used margin** The amount of funds that is used for maintaining all your open positions. Is opposed to the *Free margin*. The Used margin for positions on a specific market is calculated using the maximum value between the total margin of long positions and the total margin of short positions: MAX(*MarketPositionLong*, *MarketPositionShort*). **Example** **Step 1: Initial balance** * Margin balance: $10,000 * Opened positions: 0 * Free margin: $10,000 * Used margin: $0 **Step 2: Open a long position (Leverage 1:100)** * Market: CFD EUR/USD * Position size: 1 lot (100,000 units) * Current price: $1.001 * Required margin: $(100,000 × 1.001) / 100 = $1,001 * After opening: * Free margin: $8,999 * Used margin: $1,001 **Step 3: Open a long position (Leverage 1:20)** * Market: CFD EUR/USD * Position size: 1 lot (100,000 units) * Current price: $1.001 * Required margin: $(100,000 × 1.001) / 20 = $5,005 * After opening: * Free margin: $3,994 * Used margin: $6,006 **Step 4: Open a short position (Leverage 1:100)** * Market: CFD EUR/USD * Position size: 9 lots (900,000 units) * Current price: $1 * Required margin: $(900,000 × 1.001) / 100 = $9,009. The system verifies that upon opening this position, the MarketUsedMargin remains valid by satisfying the condition: **MarketUsedMargin** = MAX(*MarketPositionLong*, *MarketPositionShort*) = MAX(6,006, 9,009) = 9,009. Since the condition is met, the position opens. * After opening: * Free margin: $991 * Used margin: $9,009 As a result, you can open multiple opposite positions without significantly increasing the Used margin. Furthermore, closing positions never increases the Used margin. *** **Free margin** The amount of funds that can be used for opening new positions. *** **Unrealized PnL** The total potential profit or loss earned from all open positions. This value is calculated as *Σ(Unrealized PnL for Long positions + Unrealized PnL for Short positions)*, where: * *Unrealized PnL for Long positions* = *Position size* × (*Current price* – *Open price*) * *Unrealized PnL for Short positions* = *Position size* × (*Open price* – *Current price*)
