Hey before i begin, my balance margin must be 80 dollars on mt5. Like i need to deposit 80 dollars on it. But when i want to trade on mt5 and trade like 0.01 xauusd, Will it when i lose, all my money is gone? Or am i gonna lose some money? And must my account minimum have 80 dollars or is it like i can trade from 80 dollars?
