This means that the Forex trader is controlling $100,000 with only $1,000. Here, the margin is the $1,000 that the Forex trader has to give to be able to use the leverage. In Forex option trading, the margin actually works as a deposit that a Forex trader has to use while opening a position with the broker. The margin is also required to maintain the position of the trader. The margins are usually described in the form of percentage of the positions entire amount, like the Forex broker may need 1%, 2% or .5% margin.

The terms like “margin required”, “margin call”, “account margin”, “used margin”, “usable margin”, etc. are different from each other and have different usages.

All the money in the Forex trading account of the Forex trader is termed as “account margin”. The term “used margin” stands for the amount of money that the Forex trader owns. This margin remains in a “locked up” status and cannot be touched to keep open the current position. The amount of money that the Forex trader still has in the trading account and can use to open other positions is known as “usable margin”. On the other hand, the “margin call” means the situation, when the required equity of the trading accounts goes below the usable margin. In this situation, the dealing desk closes the existing open positions at market price.
