Understanding Margin
Margin is the collateral you deposit to open a leveraged position. It acts as a security deposit — the exchange lends you the rest.
Formula:
Required Margin = Position Size ÷ LeverageFor example, to open a $10,000 position with 10x leverage, you need $1,000 in margin. The exchange effectively lends you the remaining $9,000.
