Margin refers to the practice of trading on margin, which is an amount of collateral, similar to a deposit, that allows traders to control larger positions than would otherwise be possible Trading on leverage magnifies both the potential gains and losses of a trade, and a margin account must be kept within a predefined maintenance level, otherwise the trader will incur margin calls. Margin is used in equity, forex and commodities trading.
Trading on margin involves greater risks that fully funded trading. The maintenance level is set by your broker, and different brokers will offer different levels of margin. The available margin may also depend on the account size and the underlying being traded, with derivative products such as options or CFDs typically permitting greater leverage than debt instruments. Margin trading is very common in the forex market, both spot and futures.
The maintenance level is the minimum balance specified by a broker for a margin account. Should a traders margin deposit fall below this value, they must top it up immediately, a situation known as a margin call. Such calls can be extremely expensive as they may require the liquidation of other positions in order to meet the demand, and keep the account open.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
