How Does the Margin System Enforce the Maximum Leverage Limit?

The margin system enforces the maximum leverage limit by setting the minimum initial margin requirement. For example, to offer a maximum of 100x leverage, the system mandates a minimum initial margin of 1% (1/100).

A trader cannot open a position with less than this minimum margin, which effectively caps the leverage they can use. The tiered margin system further limits leverage as position size increases.
