Gambling & Aggressive Trading Behaviour
Using 80% or more of your account equity as margin is considered excessive risk and is classified as gambling behaviour.
Margin utilisation is calculated using:
Used Margin ÷ Current Equity × 100
Because margin utilisation is calculated using your current equity, floating profit and loss can cause your margin utilisation percentage to increase or decrease while positions remain open.
Traders are responsible for ensuring their margin utilisation remains below the permitted limit at all times.
