Margin is the portion of a position's value you need to open it. It equals the notional value of the trade divided by your leverage, where notional value is your size in units times the price. Higher leverage lowers the margin required but does not change your risk, which is always driven by your position size and stop. Keep your risk management front of mind, whatever the leverage.
