In finance, the margin is the money borrowers from a broker or an exchange to buy investments, particularly stocks. This is also the difference between the total value of an investment and the loan amount.
Typically, the collateral for a margin account represents the cash that is deposited in the trading account or securities provided by the broker.
Moreover, the broker might trigger a margin call if a stock falls way below the purchase price.
