Margin management is a vital aspect of trading, as it determines the funds required to open and maintain your positions. Here are some effective ways to manage margin on cTrader to avoid unexpected losses or margin calls. 

Understand Your Margin Requirements: Each trade you make has specific margin requirements based on the asset and leverage you choose. cTrader automatically calculates the margin required when you place an order. For instance, if you use 1:100 leverage, a $1,000 trade may only require $10 in margin. Knowing these requirements is essential to prevent over-leveraging your account. 

Monitor Your Margin Level: Keep track of your margin level, expressed as a percentage (Equity / Used Margin x 100%). This figure indicates the health of your account. A low margin level (typically below 100%) can trigger a margin call, prompting you to add more funds or close positions to maintain your account. 

Limit the Number of Open Positions: Each open position consumes a portion of your margin, so having multiple trades can quickly deplete your available margin. To avoid excessive risk, consider limiting the number of open positions you maintain at any one time. 

Adjust Leverage Responsibly: While higher leverage reduces your margin requirements, it can also amplify risk. In cTrader, selecting a leverage level that fits your risk tolerance is crucial.
