Margin, Leverage, and Stop-Out Rules
Learn how leverage, margin, margin calls, and stop-out levels work.
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 (100%): A warning issued when your margin level falls to 100%, meaning your equity has fallen to the margin required for your open positions.
Stop-Out Level (70%): When your margin level falls to 70%, open positions begin closing automatically to prevent a negative balance.
The minimum trade size at TX3 Markets is 0.01 lots (a micro lot).
