What is the CFDs Margin Requirement for 1:100 CFD Leverage?

• If = 1:100 - CFD Leverage

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

If you have $1,000,

1,000* 100 = $100,000.

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

(Simplify - your cfd capital is $1,000 after cfd leverage you control $100,000 - $1,000 is what percentage of $100,000 - it's 1% margin) that's your cfd margin requirement.

Your margin requirement is 1% - This means to open a cfd trade you only need to deposit 1% of the position value & the rest of the money you'll borrow from your cfd broker using the 100:1 cfd leverage option.
