Margin, Leverage, and Stop-Out Rules
Learn how leverage, margin, margin calls, and stop-out levels work.
Updated August 25, 2026
Leverage: Allows you to control larger positions with smaller margin. Example: 1:100 leverage lets $1,000 margin control $100,000 in trades.
Margin Requirements: The minimum funds needed to open and maintain a trade, based on instrument, lot size, and leverage. Viewable in MT5 under Instrument Specifications.
Margin Call: A warning when account equity approaches the required margin.
Stop-Out Level: A critical point where open positions are closed automatically to prevent a negative balance.
The minimum trade size at TX3 Markets is 0.01 lots (a micro lot).
