Margin Requirements for Exotic Pairs

Reminder to check your broker's margin requirements for exotic pairs. They are typically higher than majors and minors due to increased volatility and lower liquidity. Always factor this into your position sizing to avoid margin calls, especially around news events.

Good reminder. I've been burned by this before assuming similar margins to minors. Definitely pays to check those specific instruments.

While true, the higher margin often comes with wider spreads too, effectively doubling the cost of entry for some of these pairs. Something else to keep in mind.
