Margin Zones

The Margin Zones indicator is intended for showing margin zones, which are based on the initial margin for the symbol, on the chart.

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.
