Trading on margin means that you can purchase and sell assets that represent more value than the capital in your account. Forex trading is usually conducted with comparatively small margin deposits. This is useful since it permits investors to develop currency exchange rate fluctuations which tend to be very small. A margin of 1.0% means you can trade up to USD 1,000,000 even though you only have USD 10,000 in your account. A margin of 1% corresponds to a 100:1 leverage (or "gearing"). (Because USD 10,000 is 1% of USD 1,000,000.) Using this much leverage enables you to make profits very quickly, but there is also a greater risk of incurring large losses and even being totally wiped out. Therefore, it is inadvisable to maximise your leveraging as the risks can be very high.
