XM Trading has a variety of tools that you can use for free. I think that margin calculators are often used, especially among beginners, so I can recommend them. If you run out of margin, you will not be able to trade, so you need to know how to calculate the required margin.
Margin calculator
XM has a tool that calculates the required margin even if you have not opened an account.
What is Margin?
Margin refers to the minimum required funds for trading a certain amount, and you can trade with this margin as collateral. If you have insufficient margin, you cannot open new positions. If you run out of margin due to a sudden change in the market price, your position will be closed.
Margin and Leverage
Margin and leverage are closely related, and high leverage makes it possible to start trading with less margin. XM offers a wide range of flexible leverage from 1x to 1000x, so depending on the leverage you choose, the margin required for trading the same 0.1 lot will vary greatly.
