When you open a new trade an amount of your money goes a side as initial beginning deposit for this margin.

  • It's current price.
  • Number of units to trade.
For example, if you were to open one mini lot so instead of having to provide 10,000$ you would only need 50$(10,000$*0.5%=50$) with a (200:1) leverage or  0.5% margin.
