Margin is a key concept every trader needs to understand before opening a position. This FAQ breaks down how margin requirements work and how to calculate the margin needed to open a trade.
One of the improvements Liquid Brokers has brought, is that traders no longer have to calculate the margin requirement. On the "New Order" tab, the Margin Impact is calculated automatically by the system.
This means that traders can easily check how much funds they would require in their account to open a specific position/trade without calculating it themselves.
