Higher effective leverage increases the required margin and decreases the margin maintenance ratio, raising the risk and the likelihood of a margin call. Conversely, lower leverage reduces the required margin and increases the margin maintenance ratio, lowering the risk and the chance of a margin call.
Additionally, the margin maintenance ratio is affected by unrealized profit and loss. As unrealized profit increases, the margin maintenance ratio rises, improving safety. However, if unrealized losses occur, the margin maintenance ratio decreases, increasing the risk of a margin call.
For information on when margin calls and stop-outs are triggered, please refer to the details below.
The calculation methods for effective leverage and margin maintenance ratio are provided below.
Effective Leverage | Required Margin | Margin Maintenance Ratio |
2x | 20,000 yen | 500% |
10x | 100,000 yen | 100% |
20x | 200,000 yen | 50%*1 |
Effective Leverage | Required Margin | Margin Maintenance Ratio |
