 🟦 What is Margin in Trading?

Margin ट्रेडिंग में वह minimum amount of money होती है जो आपको broker के पास deposit करनी पड़ती है ताकि आप बड़ी position open कर सकें।

Simple words में:

👉 Margin = Small money to control big trade

यानि कम पैसे में बड़ी ट्रेड लेने की सुविधा।

Example:

अगर किसी trade का size ₹10,000 है और broker margin requirement 10% है,

तो आपको सिर्फ

✔ ₹1,000 margin देना होगा।

बाकी ₹9,000 broker allow करता है (through leverage).
