How this is calculated

Risk & liability disclaimer: This calculator produces a simplified mathematical estimate based on the numbers you enter. It is not financial advice and does not reflect your specific broker's actual margin call calculation, which can differ meaningfully from this model. Trading on margin involves substantial risk of loss, including losses larger than your initial investment. Trading Habits is not a broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, or tax professional, and is not affiliated with any broker, exchange, or data provider. Always verify your actual margin requirements directly with your broker and consult a licensed professional before making any trading or financial decision. You could lose some or all of the capital you trade with.
