It acts as a deposit with your broker — ensuring you have enough funds to support the trade. At Finotive, we set margin requirements in line with your account type and leverage.
How it works:
When you open a trade, a portion of your account balance is set aside as margin.
The higher the leverage, the less margin is required per trade — and vice versa.
Margin does not represent your risk (that’s controlled by your stop loss and cash risk rules), but it does set a ceiling on how much you can trade at once.
Finotive’s margin requirements:
Challenge & Pro accounts: Up to 1:100 leverage.
Instant Funding Standard: Up to 1:100 leverage.
Instant Funding Lite: Up to 1:25 leverage.
Swap-Free accounts: Same leverage, but swaps are removed in line with conditions.
Margin requirements and leverage may vary depending on market conditions and can change over time. As these parameters may differ between accounts, we recommend checking your account dashboard for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Why we set margin this way:
To prevent reckless over-leveraging that statistically leads to blown accounts.
To keep your trading realistic and sustainable.
To give you enough flexibility to run professional strategies without creating casino-style exposure.
If you have any questions, our support team will be happy to assist you.
Benefits for you:
Clear and fair limits, with no hidden changes.
Realistic trading conditions that mimic professional environments.
A setup that balances freedom with longevity, helping you earn more consistent payouts.
