An online trading account is an investment account like any other brokerage account and through it, you will able to trade whatever assets you wish online through the MetaTrader 5 platform.

When shopping for a new broker or deciding what type of account will suit you best, you will be faced with a variety of offerings, but the most important of said offerings usually are the margin requirements and leverage ratios. So, in order for you to make the right decision, you will need to know what they are.

Margin

Margin can be simply defined as the minimum amount of capital required by a broker to enter a trade. In order for traders to enter bigger trades, brokers require said traders to have a certain amount of capital available to hold onto as a form of collateral that can differ greatly according to the size of the trade and the asset being traded.

Leverage

Leverage is usually interrupted as the actual purchasing power available to a trader at any time and, contrary to margins, comes in the form of a ratio. Leverage allows traders to enter trades worth much more than the money they invested, therefore, enabling them to amplify their returns and losses.
Even though margin is used to create leverage, they are very different from one another, which makes understanding how they differ crucial for when you’re looking for a broker that will help you trade better.
