Brokers charge 3-5% above the exchange minimum, and margins are raised before holidays and volatile periods. Positions are marked-to-market daily: if your equity falls below the maintenance margin you must top up or face forced liquidation. With 10× leverage a 10% adverse move wipes out the entire margin — sizing (lots) matters more than direction.
