Meaning

What Free Margin means

The amount of equity available to open new positions or absorb further losses. Sound risk management practices like this one are frequently cited by professional traders as the real dividing line between long-term survival and blown accounts.

Trading context

Why it matters

Low free margin increases the risk of a margin call. At the intermediate level, this becomes increasingly relevant as traders begin refining strategies, tightening risk controls, and reading the market more critically.
