Margin
Margin is the amount of money needed to open a leveraged trading position. When trading, you are only required to put up a small amount of capital to open and maintain a new position. This capital is known as the Margin. In Forex trading there are two types of margin:

- A maintenance margin that is needed to keep the position open.
Once you have opened a position, you might need to add more cash if your trade starts to incur a loss and your deposit margin is no longer enough to keep the position open.
