Trade API (64)

Can I check margin before placing an order?

Yes. The order margin API takes the same details as a place order request and tells you the margin required and the balance available. The basket margin API does the same for up to 10 orders together, including any hedge benefit. Neither of them places an order or needs a static IP.

The result is a snapshot, so an order can still be rejected if prices or your balance change before you place it.
