What is the Indices Trading Margin Requirement for 1:10 Indices Trading Leverage?

• If = 1:10 - Indices Trading Leverage

Then the indices trading margin requirement is = 1/10 *100= 10%

if you have $1,000,

1,000* 10 = $10,000.

1,000 / 10,000 * 100= 10%

(Simplify - your indices trading capital is $1,000 after stock indices leverage you control $10,000 - $1,000 is what percent of $10,000 - it is 10% margin) that is your indices trading margin requirement.

Your margin requirement is 10% - This means to open a indices trade position you only need to deposit 10% of the position value and the rest of the money you will borrow from your indices broker using the 10:1 indices trading leverage option.
