Margin is the amount of funds you need to place a trade, also known as margin requirement. The amount that you need in margin depends on the trade volume that you choose to open. You will have a margin regardless of what leverage you choose to have. For positions with higher leverage i.e., 1:500 you will only need a small percentage of funds to place a trade. Conversely, for positions with lower leverage i.e., 1:25 you will need a larger portion of funds to place a trade.
Leverage gives the traders the ability to trade with more than they actually have. Say for example you have 1:500 leverage, that means that for every $1 USD, you actually have control of $500 USD in exposure to use and participate in the forex market with. Thus, you can greatly increase your profits, however, you can just as easily incur significant losses.
Therefore, leverage gives a trader the ability to control a larger position using less money or margin. While this can provide the ability to increase larger profits, it also means trades can result in larger losses. This is why leverage is known to be called a "double-edged sword".
Say, for instance, you have 1:500 leverage and you try placing a 1.0 standard lot (100,000 units of the base currency) of EURUSD in your USD trading account. You can determine how much you need in your account to place this trade using the following formula:
lot size x current price / leverage = margin required
In the example above, this will be the following:
100,000 EUR x 1.101 EUR / USD500 = 220.2 USD margin required
Now let’s consider the same example with a lower leverage amount, for example 1:1 leverage.
100,000 EUR x 1.101 EUR/USD / 1 = 110,100 USD margin required
As you can see from this example, you would need a lot of money to trade 1.0 standard lot of EUR/USD. Ultimately, the extent to which you leverage is entirely your choice.

Depending on the account type you open at Baxia, you can choose the leverage on a scale from 1:50 to 1:1000. Margin requirements do not change overnight.
At Baxia you can control your real-time risk exposure by monitoring your used and free margin.
Used and free margin together make up your equity. Used margin refers to the amount of money you need to deposit to hold the trade (i.e. if you set your account at a leverage of 1:100, the margin that you will need to set aside is 1% of your trade size). Free margin is the amount of money you left in your trading account, and it fluctuates according to your account equity; you can open additional positions with it, or absorb any losses.
Although each client is fully responsible for monitoring their trading account activity, Baxia follows a margin call policy to ensure that your maximum possible risk does not exceed your account equity.
As soon as your account equity drops below 90% of the margin needed to maintain your open positions, we will attempt to notify you with a margin call warning you that you do not have sufficient equity to support open positions.
The stop-out level refers to the equity level at which your open positions get automatically closed. The stop-out level in a retail client’s account is reached when the equity in the trading account is equal or falls below 50% of the required margin.
This is calculated as follows: Margin level = equity / used margin x 100% = margin level %
When this level goes below 50% – stop out will occur.
