For those who are confused with Margin let me explain in the simplest way. Basically Margin is the amount needed to foward your trade (in the case of the video requires atleast or more 4.95usd in your broker account to trade the "sell 0.20"). When loss exceed or getting near to 4.95 usd your broker will advised to add more money to your broker account or close the trade when its nearly about to reach 4.95 to avoid more unecessary lost. The conclusion here margin can also act as a limit point on when you should close your trade when your trade is trying to reach a certain amount of loss. IMPORTANT NOTE: My explanation may be a bit inaccurate but hope you get the idea that this is one of the concept of margin

This was good. Only problem is I would have loved it if you explained why they are needed. The first three I understand why, but have no idea what the margin percentage is used for. If you do a vid on this, please tag me, thanks.

[@SolomonBMonroe]

Your margin % is a ratio of the money you need in money to control the amount of margin you control . That % is basically what you can lose on a trade before it closes and you lose the ability to control the underlying

How can one determine the margin that will be used to trade?

[@ThrillingWorld1]

The usual leverage used by professional forex traders is 100:1. What this means is that with $500 in your account you can control $50K. 100:1 is the best leverage that you should use. The most important thing is how much of your account equity you are willing to lose on a trade. If you are willing to lose 2% of your account equity on a trade this translates into a $10 for a $500 account, $20 for a $1000 account and $200 for a $10K account. This is known as the percentage risk that you are willing to take. Risk and leverage are different things. Most people confuse leverage with risk. In the answers below someone said leverage is not important it is the lot size that is important. This is partly true. Actually what is important is the Risk Percentage that you choose for your account. Then you translate that Risk Percentage into Lot Size using the Leverage that you had chosen for your account plus what is your Account Equity. Let me explain how. When we open a trade we decide how much risk we are willing to take. Lot size is determined by the stop loss size. Suppose you have a trade setup. The stop loss is 30 pips. We need to translate this 30 pips into the lot size. This depends on how much risk you are willing to take. Suppose you are ready to lose 2% of your account equity on this trade. This means if you lose 2% of $500 you will lose $10, so you will end up with $490 in your account in case of a loss. If you are willing to lose $10 on this trade you choose 2% risk level. So you will trade with a lot size of 0.03. With this lot size if you lose 30 pips, you will lose $9. And if you trade with a lot size of 0.04, losing 30 pips means you are going to lose $12. So the lot size should be somewhere between 0.03 and 0.04. Metatrader 4 does not allow 0.035 lot size. So either choose 0.03 or choose 0.04. This is how you are going to calculate the lot size: $Risk= %Risk*Account Equity/100 Lot Size= $Risk/(PipValue*SL) In this formula, %Risk is the risk percentage that you chose which was 2%. $Risk is this risk translated into dollar terms. So with the first formula you calculate $Risk. We have %Risk as 2% and Account Equity as $500. So: $Risk=2*500/100=$10 Our stop loss is 30 pips. PipValue for a 100:1 leverage account is 1 pips is equal to $10. So PipValue is 10. Now we use the second formula and calculate the Lot Size: Lot Size= 10/10*30=0.033 As said above MetaTrader allows either 0.03 or 0.04. So choose either 0.03 in which your $Risk will be $9 or choose 0.04 in which case your $Risk will be $12. Now suppose your leverage is 50. In this case $Risk will be: $Risk=2*500/50=$10 This is same as before. %Risk and $Risk does not depend on leverage at all. It only depends on your account equity. You must have understood it by now. PipValue will be $5 as 1 pip will be equal to $5 now. So Pip Value is what depends on the Leverage that you choose. Now lot size will be: Lot Size=10/(5*30)=10/150=0.0666 So we can choose either 0.06 lot or 0.07 lot now. You must have observed now that by reducing the leverage you have doubled the lot size. But the net effect is the same. Whether you choose 100:1 leverage or 50:1 leverage, you are going to lose $10. So it doesn't matter what leverage you choose. It all depends on the risk percentage that you are willing to lose. From that risk percentage you calculate the lot size which depends on the leverage that you chose for your account. Now this Pip Value thing depends on the currency pair you choose to trade. For pairs with USD as the base currency like GBPUSD, EURUSD, NZDUSD, AUDUSD it is easy to calculate. It is $10 for 100:1 leverage. If you half the leverage Pip Value also gets halved like $5 for 50:1 leverage. If you double the leverage to 200:1, it will double to $20. But for cross pairs like GBPNZD, EURGBP, AUDJPY, NZDJPY it is different. You should use an online pip value calculator for these pairs.

Why is it says not enough money ? I have money in my account

Somebody explain wat 13.88usd was standing for?

[@CalebJSewell]

The $13.88 USD meant that his trades that he placed yielded a profit of thirteen dollars and eighty-eight cents.

[@Colors.TF1]

what if I have $10 Balance and $250 Equity/free margin, and I lose $20 on a trade, and make $30 on a second trade, will my new balance be $0, $20 or $30? and, if the balance is zero after losing $20, will I lose the remaining Equity?

[@queenb9668]

This is a confusing comment. By my understanding , it's your equity you should be looking at not your balance. Because your balance will stay the same while your equity shows you how much you have based on your wins and losses. So by your example. I'd assume your balance stays at $10 and your equity goes up to $260. I'm no experienced with his either. Can someone tell me if I am right or if I am wrong ?

[@madomaxkashila3748]

@@queenb9668 Yah as long as he closed the trade his balance will become $250. I'm not reading past that, tbh its just that simple. If he didn't close the trade tho, then i hope for his sake the price didnt drop lol
