Leverage and Margin
Leverage
Leverage is a by-product of margin and allows an individual to control larger trade sizes. Traders will use this tool as a way to magnify their returns. It’s imperative to stress, that losses are also magnified when leverage is used. Therefore, it is important to understand that leverage needs to be controlled.
Margin
A margin call occurs when there are not enough funds in your trading account to open trades. This is also when your floating losses are greater than the minimum margin required.
Commissions and Swaps
A forex swap rate or rollover is defined as the overnight interest added or deducted for holding a position open overnight, this can be earned or paid. Swap/Rollover rates are determined by the overnight interest rate differential between the two currencies involved in the pair and whether the position is a buy ‘long’ or sell ‘short’.
