When trading if you have $1,000 & use option 100:1 and buy 1 standard lot for $100,000 your xauusd margin on this trade transaction is $1000 dollars in your xauusd account, this is the money that you will lose if your open trade goes against you the other $99,000 that is borrowed from the broker, the broker will close the open xauusd trade transactions automatically once your $1,000 has been taken by the gold trading market.
But this is if your xauusd broker has set 0% XAUUSD Margin Requirement before closing your gold trades automatically.
For 20% XAUUSD Margin Requirement before closing your gold trades automatically, then your trades will be closed once your account balance gets to $200
