The formula is as follows:<\/h2>\n

Lots x Contract Size x Margin%,<\/strong><\/p>\n

or, (Lots x Contract Size) \/ Leverage<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can find all Contract Sizes<\/strong> , by right-clicking on any Symbol through MT4’s market watch and then ‘Specification’<\/p>\n

Important Note<\/strong>: Margin is always denominated in the Base Currency<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you wish to Buy 1 lot on EURUSD with a margin percentage of 0.2%, then:<\/p>\n

Margin Requirement = 1 (Lot) x 100,000 (Contract Size) x 0.2% =200 EUR<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you wish to Buy 1 lot on USDJPY with a leverage of 1:500, then:<\/p>\n

Margin Requirement = 1 (Lot) x 100,000 (Contract Size) \/ 500 =200 USD<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The final amount depends on your account’s currency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your account is in a different currency than the base currency of your traded instrument, then a conversion will happen to reflect the appropriate margin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
