How Your Balance Is Used as Margin

Your available balance funds your trades. When you open a position, its margin moves from available to in positions, and comes back when you close.

Prerequisites & Limits

  • Available: free to trade or withdraw.

  • In positions: margin held by your open positions, not available to withdraw.

  • The margin required for a new trade is shown before you place it.

Step-by-Step Navigation

  1. Sign in at mochatrade.com and open Portfolio (or Funds).

  2. Check Available and In positions.

  3. On the Trade page, the Positions tab shows the margin each position uses.

Common Failures & Troubleshooting

  • I can't open a new position: Your available balance is below the margin required. Lower the size or leverage, or add money.

  • My balance looks lower than expected: Some of it is held as margin in open positions.
