How to trade with leverage in Paper Trading

To start simulated trading with margin, your Paper Trading account is already pre-configured with default values. Or you can set the leverage you want to trade with.

In the "Order info" section in the Order Panel, you can see the following information about your future position:

Margin: Total amount of your funds and borrowed funds
Leverage: The proportion of your funds and borrowed funds
Tick value: Minimum price change of the asset
Trade value: Total cost of the expected position

! Note: When the margin value increases, the progress bar shifts to the right. If the margin value exceeds your available funds, the progress bar reaches the right edge and turns red. This means that you don't have enough funds to open a position for this order.

At the time of order execution, if the ratio of margin and available funds remains the same, the order won't be executed.

You can see how much of your funds will be used to open a position in the "Margin" column. You can find it in the "Orders" tab of the Trading panel.

Same applies when an order is executed and a position is opened. Now, in the "Margin" column you can see how much of your funds are being used to maintain the position.
