Hi,
I notice some strange values on mt4 regarding margin and margin level (%).
I have almost 5 lots with running trades. Margin value was 57 and margin level was 3000%. Then i open another small lot margin, margin value reduce to 6.25 and level was at 28000%. I opened another micro lot then margin & margin level values disappeared and only balance and equity and free margin was appearing in mt4
Is this normal? What does it mean… Is there risk of auto closure of positions in such scenerio?
I would suggest not to use a broker that uses floating leverage and you can ask metaquotes for the correct procedure for this situation.
Looks like you need some time to understand how margin works. You have a long way to go.
I am not sure how people use high leverage when there are so many chances of losing money unnecessarily. I have never been confident to use more than 1:30 leverage. I want to understand what you see when you use leverage up to 1:500.
Very true. I often wonder about the same thing, if people use leverage as high as 1:1000 or it’s just an option that brokers offer and the majority of traders never really opt for.
