Impact of Open Positions on Withdrawals

Updated today

Open trading positions directly affect your ability to withdraw funds from your FXTRADING.com account. Understanding this relationship is essential for smooth financial operations.

Key Withdrawal Considerations

  • Margin Requirements: Open positions lock a portion of your funds as margin, reducing the amount available for withdrawal

  • Free Margin Calculation: Only your free margin (total equity minus used margin) is available for withdrawal

  • Position Risk: Volatile market movements affecting open positions can further restrict withdrawal capacity

Withdrawal Process with Open Positions

When you have active trades, FXTRADING.com's system automatically:

  1. Calculates your current equity

  2. Subtracts the margin required for open positions

  3. Determines maximum withdrawal amount based on remaining free margin

If a withdrawal would cause your margin level to fall below required thresholds, the request may be rejected to prevent margin calls or automatic position closures.

Best Practices for Withdrawals

To ensure successful withdrawals:

  • Close positions if you need to withdraw a significant portion of your funds

  • Calculate your free margin before requesting withdrawals

  • Consider market volatility that might affect position values

  • Maintain sufficient buffer beyond minimum margin requirements
