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 1:50 leverage.
Swap-Free accounts: Same leverage, but swaps are removed in line with conditions.
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.
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.
