Understanding Margin in Forex Trading
Margin represents the collateral required to open and maintain leveraged positions. At Blocsera, we offer flexible lot sizes to suit all traders:
The Power of Leverage
Leverage allows you to control larger positions with a relatively small amount of capital. For example, with 1:100 leverage, a $1,000 deposit enables you to trade $100,000 in currency value. While leverage can amplify profits, it also increases risk exposure, making proper risk management essential.
