Margin is one of the most important concepts for those trading in the futures market. It acts as a good-faith deposit that the investor must make with the broker to trade WIN and WDO contracts. In July 2026, with volatility on the rise, understanding margin is essential to avoid being caught off guard.
Margin is not the contract price, but rather a guarantee that you will meet your obligations. It is calculated as a percentage of the total contract value and varies according to the asset and the type of operation (day trade or position). For day trades, the margin is usually lower.
