How can I calculate the margin?
Use Trading Calculator or calculate the margin by yourself according to the formula.
The formula to calculate the margin:
<Margin> = <Contract size> / <Leverage>
where:
Contract size - the order volume in the base currency of the trading asset (the first currency in the ticker). The order volume of 1 lot for all currency pairs is always equal to 100,000 units of the instrument base currency.
Leverage - the leverage value.
Example of calculation:
You open a long position of 1 lot in EURUSD with the leverage value 1:20.
<Margin> = 100,000 / 20 = 5,000 EUR
If your account currency is USD, but not EUR, you have to convert the margin amount into your account currency. To do this, multiply it by the theoretical rate of EURUSD (1.2345).
<Margin> = 5,000 * 1.2345 = 6,172.50 USD
