Margin Requirements
Margin acts as collateral, allowing a trader to take a position.
Margin is calculated by a predefined and static calculation.
(Account Value or Equity)

Net Exposure
If you are facing low margin, it means that your account is at risk. You can increase your margin in two ways:
- Fund your account
- Reduce your exposure by closing open positions
Please keep in mind that margin and leverage are double edged swords and they also increase a trader’s risk potential. However, this risk is limited only to the amount you have invested in your account.
