whats the difference between leverage and margin?

kerr to u asked:


I hear both terms being used. Aren’t they the same things? I’m talking about forex btw.

Please explain to me what a margin call is. How much of my account should I not invest with to avoid this, or does a margin call occur whenever the broker feels like it?
