Example 1

ACCOUNT CURRENCY - SYMBOL GROUP - SYMBOL: USD - FOREX MAJOR - EURUSD


Client enters a 10 lots EURUSD position at the price of 1.0452.

The dynamic leverage works as follows:

  • Account Currency: USD
  • Symbol Group: Forex Major
  • EURUSD contract size: 100,000 units
  • EURUSD margin currency: EUR


Notional Value Formula: Contract Size x Number of Lots x Exchange rate to Account Currency

National Value of EURUSD 10 lots, converted in Account Currency USD:

  • 10 x 100,000 EUR x 1.0452 (EURUSD rate) = $1,045,200


Dynamic Margin calculations:

*Margin Formula = Notional Value / Leverage

  1.  0$ - $100,000 -> Leverage: 1:2000
  2.  $100,000 / 2000 = $50
  3.  $100,000 - $500,000 -> Leverage: 1:1000
  4.  $400,000 / 1000 = $400
  5.  $500,000 - $2,000,000 -> Leverage 1:500
  6.  $545,200 (remaining value) / 500 = $1,090.4


Margin Requirement: $50 + $400 + $1,090.4 = $1,540.4

Example 2

ACCOUNT CURRENCY - SYMBOL GROUP - SYMBOL: USD - FOREX MAJOR - USDJPY


Client enters a 10 lots USDJPY position at the price of 135.411.

The dynamic leverage works as follows:

  • Account Currency: USD
  • Symbol Group: Forex Major
  • USDJPY contract size: 100,000 units
  • USDJPY margin currency : USD


Notional Value Formula:Contract Size x Number of Lots x Exchange rate to Account Currency

Notional Value of USDJPY 10 lots:

  • 10 x 100,000 x 1.00 = $1,000,000


Dynamic Margin calculations:

*Margin Formula = Notional Value / Leverage

  1.  0$ - $100,000 -> Leverage: 1:2000
  2.  $100,000 x 1.00 / 2000 = $50
  3.  $100,000 - $500,000 -> Leverage: 1:1000
  4.  $400,000 x 1.00 / 1000 = $400
  5.  $500,000 - $2,000,000 -> Leverage 1:500
  6.  $500,000 (remaining value) x $1,00 / 500 = $1,000


Margin Requirement: $50 + $400 + $1,000 = $1,450

Example 3

ACCOUNT CURRENCY - SYMBOL GROUP - SYMBOL: USD - METALS - XAUUSD


Client enters a 20 lots XAUUSD position at the price of 1769.26.

The dynamic leverage works as follows:

  • Account Currency: USD
  • Symbol Group: Metals
  • XAUUSD contract size: 100 ounces
  • XAUUSD margin currency: USD


Notional Value Formula:Contract Size x Number of Lots x Exchange rate to Account Currency

Notional Value of XAUUS 20 lots, converted in Account Currency USD:

  • 20 x 100 XAU x 1769.26 (XAUUSD rate) = $3,538,520


Dynamic Margin calculations:

*Margin Formula = Notional Value / Leverage

  1.  $0 - $100,000 -> Leverage: 1:2000
  2.  $100,000 x 1.00 / 2000 = $50
  3.  $100,000 - $300,000 -> Leverage: 1:1000
  4.  $200,000 x 1.00 / 1000 = $200
  5.  $300,000 - $1,500,000 -> Leverage 1:500
  6.  $1,200,000 x $1,00 / 500 = $2,400
  7.  $1,500,000 - $5,00,000 -> Leverage 1:200
  8.  $2,038,520 x $1,00 / 200 = $10,192.60


Margin Requirement: $50 + $200 + $2,400 + $10,192.60 = $12,842.60
