What's the CFDs Margin Requirement for 1:10 CFD Leverage?

• If = 1:10 - CFD Leverage

Then the cfd margin percent level requirement is = 1/10 *100= 10%

If you have $1,000,

1,000* 10 = $10,000.

1,000 / 10,000 * 100= 10%

(Simplify - your cfd capital is $1,000 after cfd leverage you now control $10,000 - $1,000 is what percentage of $10,000 - it is 10% margin) that is your cfd margin requirement.

Your margin requirement is 10% - This means to open a cfd trade you only need to deposit 10% of the position value & the rest of the money you'll borrow from your cfd broker using the 10:1 cfd leverage option.
