Margin Level

BBack

Back to Glossary

Description

A ratio that compares the equity in a margin account to the used margin, often expressed as a percentage.

Margin level is calculated by dividing the equity in the account by the used margin, showing how much of the available margin is still in use. It’s a critical indicator for traders to monitor, as it helps assess how close they are to a margin call. A high margin level indicates low risk of a margin call, while a low level signals potential financial strain.
