Free Margin

The available funds in your account to open new positions.

Full Definition

Free margin equals your account equity minus the margin used by open positions. It represents the capital available to open new trades or absorb floating losses. Monitoring free margin helps prevent margin calls and ensures you have room for additional positions or to withstand adverse price movements.
