Risk Management

Margin Level

Definition

The ratio of equity to used margin expressed as a percentage. Margin Level = (Equity / Used Margin) x 100%. Brokers issue margin calls when this drops too low.

Example

A margin level of 150% means equity is 1.5 times the used margin. Below 100% triggers a margin call.
