The amount of equity an investor must deposit to open a leveraged position.

Margin in trading refers to the amount of equity an investor must deposit to open a leveraged position, allowing them to control a larger investment with less capital. It’s essentially a loan from the broker, with the securities in the account serving as collateral. Proper margin management is vital to avoid margin calls and potential liquidation of positions.
