The availability of leverage is widespread across almost all asset classes ranging from Forex to Commodities, Stock CFDs, Indices, Crypto CFDs, oil and precious metals.
Using leverage can multiply your capital gain on successful trades.
Take bigger positions in the market, even if you lack the necessary funds.
Margin refers to the initial deposit necessary to keep your positions open, which demonstrates your good faith in the trade. It is not a cost or fee, but instead, a portion of your account equity that is designated as a margin deposit.
The margin requirement is determined by the size of your position and the specific instrument you are trading. Margin requirements may be subject to periodic changes to account for fluctuations in market volatility and currency exchange rates.
Although the terms "leverage" and "margin" are slightly different, they refer to the same concept. When a trader opens a position, they must deposit a portion of that position's value as a "good faith" gesture. This is known as leverage, and the amount that must be deposited is referred to as the margin requirement.
