Example Calculation
Trade Parameters
Calculation Steps
-
1. Determine Notional Value:
$100,000 (standard lot size) * 10 lots = $1,000,000
-
2. Calculate Margin in Base Currency:
$1,000,000 / 30 (leverage) = $33,333.33
-
3. Convert Margin to Account Currency:
$33,333.33 * 1.0950 (EURUSD entry price) = $36,500
(Since the first currency in EURUSD is EUR and your account is in USD, you need to convert the EUR margin value to USD. If your account was in EUR, no conversion would be needed.)
Required Margin: $36,500 USD
*Please note that these calculations are for illustrative purposes. Actual margin requirements may vary based on market conditions, broker policies, and specific account settings.
