Margin

এই আইনি পৃষ্ঠাটি শুধুমাত্র ইংরেজিতে উপলব্ধ।

When you open a leveraged position, the broker sets aside part of your balance as margin. It is not a fee — it returns when the position closes — but while locked it is unavailable for other positions.

Free margin (equity minus locked margin) is the buffer that absorbs open losses. When it runs out, the broker begins closing positions to protect the loan: the margin call or stop-out. Monitoring margin usage is part of running any automated system safely.
