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

  • If = 1:10 - Leverage

Then the margin requirement = 1/10 *100= 10%

If you've got $1,000 dollars,

1,000* 10 = $10,000.

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

Simple example: Your equity is $1,000. With leverage, you control $10,000. That makes a 10% margin need.

A 10% margin requirement means you need to deposit only 10% of the position value when opening a trade. The remaining funds are borrowed from your broker through a 10:1 leverage ratio.
