Understanding the differences between Margin and Position Size is crucial for shaping trading strategies and outcomes.
Methods to place orders on Flipster:
- Margin:
- Pros: Precise control over the margin allocated for each trade.
- Cons: Quantity of contracts fluctuates based on the opening price.
- Position Size:
- Pros: Provides a stable, fixed quantity for each trade, offering clarity and consistency.
- Cons: The position margin taken to open the position is inconsistent, especially during market volatility, potentially leading to order rejection if there is insufficient margin balance.
Note: Both Margin and Position Size are supported on the Flipster webpage trading. Only Margin is supported on the Flipster mobile application.
