Margin is the amount of funds you allocate from your account equity to open a position.
On leveraged positions, margin is often expressed as a percentage of the position’s exposure to the market.
For example, a trade with an invested amount of $500 and a leverage of x5 has an exposure of $2,500. The margin is $500 or 20%.
