Margin question

Hi,
I’m using MT4 and have a newbie question on the Margin figure.

Doing the same trade on my demo and live accounts, the margin is stated as 55 on the demo account and 270 on my live account. How come the difference if I buy the same amount of lots?

Maybe you have different leverage on the accounts, so that more of your capital is “locked in” as security for your broker on the account where your margin is only 55?

Make sure you understand the concepts of used vs usable (aka free) margin.

Hope this helps

Cheers, yep i think that’s that’s it!
