Frequently
Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about calculating required margin and position leverage with Inveslo.
What is required margin in trading?
Required margin is the collateral amount set aside from your account balance to open and maintain a leveraged trading position.
How is required margin calculated?
Required margin is calculated by taking the total position value (lot size × contract size × current market price) and dividing it by your chosen account leverage tier.
Does leverage affect the required margin?
Yes, higher account leverage reduces the initial margin needed to open a position, while lower leverage increases the required margin.
What is tiered margin and how does it work?
Tiered margin applies different leverage levels based on total position volume, requiring higher margin percentages for larger position sizes to manage risk.
Why might actual platform margin differ from the calculation?
Platform margin requirements can vary due to active position hedging, special margin requirements during major market news events, or weekend rollover adjustments.
