Margin is the collateral you must lock up to open a leveraged position. The position's notional value is the entry price multiplied by the quantity, and the required initial margin is that notional divided by your leverage.

Position value = Entry price × Quantity
Required margin = Position value / Leverage

At 10× leverage you control a position worth ten times your collateral: a $10,000 position requires $1,000 of margin. Higher leverage lowers the margin requirement but amplifies profit and loss relative to your collateral and moves the liquidation price closer to your entry.
