Calculate required margin for leveraged positions
Margin is the collateral required to open a leveraged position. Required margin equals position value divided by leverage.
For example, a 1 BTC position at $50,000 with 10x leverage requires $5,000 margin. The remaining $45,000 is effectively borrowed.
Keep in mind that margin doesn't include fees, funding costs, or maintenance margin requirements. Always maintain a buffer above the minimum to avoid liquidation.
