There are no margin calls in FOREX trading and instead of contracts trading units are sold in standard lots of 100,000, mini lots of 10,000 and micro lots of 1,000 often at a 50:1 margin. The higher margin and the uninterrupted trading offer more profit opportunities but also require risk to be tightly monitored.
