Margin and Leverage
Margin Modes
Cross Margin is the default, sharing margin across all cross-margin positions for maximum capital efficiency.
Initial Margin and Leverage
It's locked for the position; for cross-margin, unrealized PnL auto-contributes as new initial margin.
To balance leverage with stability, MC Markets uses tiered floating leverage. Larger positions require higher MMR and lower max leverage.
