We’re happy to announce a new powerful metric addition to the statistics – margin. Margin is the amount of money you use to trade and it can tell a lot about a trading strategy. We’ve added this metric to further support your trading decisions or help analyse someone else’s trading strategy.
The new margin chart is visible at the top of a system page:
It includes 4 different chart types:
Margin – Margin is the percentage (%) value based on the amount of equity versus position value.
Margin Level – Margin Level is the percentage (%) value based on the amount of equity versus required margin.
Leverage – Actual leverage used by the account based on position nominal value versus account equity.
Available Margin – Available free margin represented as percentage (%) of total account margin.
The margin metric will help you understand if a trading system is taking excessive risks, how close was (or is) it to a margin call, and the real leverage used throughout the lifetime of the trading account.
Wishing you profitable trading,
The Myfxbook Team.
