What is Margin

Expansion is a trading method that signals investors to invest in borrowed money to reap higher profits from price fluctuations. The following are the Concepts related to Expansion:

  • Borrowing funds

    In open trades, investors can borrow funds from trading platforms or brokers to purchase large or large Assets (such as Stocks, Cryptos, etc.).

  • margin

    Investors need to deposit a certain amount of money on the Trading Platform, which is called Margin, that is, collateral for borrowed funds.

  • Leverage effect

    1. Investors can trade using leverage to purchase larger scale assets with smaller funds.

    2. For example, if an investor only needs to provide a 10% guarantee to trade Assets with $10 in other funds, for example.

  • Risk and Profitability

    The potential profit from margins is substantial, but at the same time it increases the risk. In the event of a bad market situation, investors' losses may exceed the amount of the margin, resulting in large budget losses.

  • Risk of closing

    If collateral does not adequately support Hold Positions, Trade Platforms, or strengthens the Plateau, the current market price does not automatically Sell Asset Assets for a long time.

Margin Borrowing Ratio

The Margin Loan Ratio is a sample of the funds borrowed by investors and other private funds in a trade. This ratio helps investors understand our progress and dive into risks.

  • Margin Ratio: Borrowing Ratio = Borrowed Funds Margin Borrowing Ratio = Margin Borrowing Funds

  • Margin Requirement Ratio (Margin Requirement): Typically set by a trading platform or broker, represents the ratio of the funds that investors need to deposit on their own in the total trade.

If investors want to buy $10,000 worth of Assets in an expanded way, the broker requires a guarantee ratio of 20%. Where:

  • Margin = 10,000× 20% =$2,000

  • Borrowed funds = 10,000−2,000=$8,000

  • Borrowing Ratio = $8,000: $2,000 =4

This shows that the investor has a loan-to-value ratio of 4:1, and for every $1, funds control $4 assets. However, the higher the loan ratio, the higher the cost. The risk is higher, the profit may grow, and the risk is equally high. If the market price falls, the value of the Assets held by investors may fall, leading to the underwriting of the margin call, or in the event of a Margin Call, investors may be required to replace collateral or a flat rate.

What is Call Expansion/Margin Call?

Margin Call, also known as “Margin Call”, is a notice issued by a broker to investors asking for additional funds to meet margin requirements. Before making margin investments, each broker sets minimum margin requirements for each investor and requires a certain percentage of funds in the account. A “Margin Call” occurs when an investor's net worth of account funds falls below this level. At this point, investors can respond in three main ways:

  • Replenishment:

    • Investors can add funds to the account and deposit additional funds to meet the minimum margin requirements.

  • Closing position:

    • If investors are unable or choose not to follow the funds, the broker may strengthen the plateau by automatically Selling some or all of your Hold Positions to prevent further losses.

  • Adjust Hold Positions:

    • Investors can choose to reduce their Hold Positions to reduce collateral requirements.

As soon as you hold the market price of an asset to a certain level, the investor must sell the asset immediately and sell it immediately. Eliminate avoidable losses while freeing up assets that can be redistributed among other volatile investment assets.
