Margin level
Margin is not a loss limit.
A lower margin requirement does not reduce trading risk. Higher leverage can increase losses relative to your funds; monitor equity and margin level in MetaTrader.
Margin level = equity ÷ margin × 100
Margin call at 50%
A warning that your equity is running low against the margin in use.
Stop-out at 20%
The published stop-out threshold is 20%. Review the applicable agreement for the position-closing process.
