# Margin Zones

These margin zones are a kind of price level. They display market participants’ commitment to losing positions. Thus, they help us to identify reversal patterns and to take into account non-obvious price changes.

**Margin Zone Level = (Initial Margin / Value of the Symbol’s Price Increment) \* Price Increment of the Symbol**

This formula calculates a full margin zone, from which other levels can then be calculated.
