This has probably already been mentioned but I can't seem to find it. I decided to try my hand at btc/usd trading. I started with .1 btc just to test the waters. Initially my "trading balance" was around $150 (roughly 3:1 vs my actual btc amount). I have a much higher percentage of wins than losses. On the right hand side it currently says:
USD 2.82
BTC 0.09
Margin Balance $46.86
Unrealized P/L -$0.85
Unrealized Swap Cost $0.00
Net Value $46.02
Required Margin $6.46
On Pair BTCUSD
Tradable Balance $86.98
Initial Margin 30.0% (3.3:1)
Maintenance Margin 15.0%
Since my account overview says that I only have .09 in btc/usd my tradable balance should be (.09) * (3.33) * (487.46) = 145ish
