What is Margin?

Margin refers to the amount of capital required by PU Prime to open and maintain a position.

Margin usually relate with leverage. When you trade on margin, you are essentially leveraging your position. By depositing a fraction of the total value of the trade as margin, you can control a much larger position.

For example, if a trader has $1,000 in a trading account and uses 100:1 leverage, they can control a $100,000 position.
