How Much Margin You Need In Forex Trading?
By Adrian Pablo, Thu Dec 8th

Trading Forex has many advantages which are greatly appreciatedby the Forex traders thathave already mastered the markets and have improved theirincomes and style of life. One of these great advantages of theForex markets is the low margins needed in order to be able toplace a trade. Something that is also very important for the newand inexperienced traders starting their careers.

This "Margin" is the amount of money you need "to pay" thebroker before you enter a trade, and the total amount of it willdepend on the size of the trade you are willing to manage. Theamount of the margin is calculated as a fixed percentage of thistrade amount.

The good news for the Forex traders is that this percentage isusually only 1% of the trade amount and with mini-accounts itcan be as low as 0.5% of the total trade. In other words this iswhat's called Leverage; and in leverage terms this marginpercentages are also viewed as a market having a 100:1 and up to200:1 leverage. Which is a more than great leverage.

In other words, your broker will make you a loan, a pretty bigloan, that you will use to trade and be able to obtain greatprofits

without risking huge amounts of money. It can be seen asthis: if you want to trade $100,000 USD, you will only need$1000 USD in order to control this amount of money and thebroker will lend you the extra $90,000 USD. This is the power ofleverage.

But trading Forex wouldn't be so great if this huge leveragecould turn against you. As it usually happens if you want totrade Futures. When trading forex you can not have a debitbalance, your broker will close your account as soon as yourmargin money runs out. You won't have loans to repay. Giving youthe peace of mind that in a bad trading day, you can at mostlose all of your margin but you will never be left with a debitbalance to your broker.

So, if you want to enter the great world of forex trading themargin you will need will be around $1000 USD or some moredepending on how many trades you will enter. And you can evenenter a trade with only $100 USD if you are starting yourtrading career with a single mini account.

As you can see, there are great reasons to consider trading theforex markets.
