What does margin mean?

Margin is the amount of money that traders have to deposit and keep on the account when they open a position. This amount is not a fee or transaction cost. We determine our margin requirements by taking a percentage of the notional trade size. For example, if you want to open a position for $10,000 (0,1 lots) and the leverage on your account is 1:100, the required margin equals to $100.
