What Does the Margin Calculator Actually Do?
It tells you how much capital your broker will “lock up” to keep your trade open.
Here’s what’s calculated:
|
Term |
What It Means |
|---|---|
|
Notional Value |
Total position size of your trade (e.g. $100,000 for 1 lot EUR/USD) |
|
Margin Required |
Capital needed to open that trade, based on your leverage (e.g. $1,000 for 1:100) |
|
% of Account (opt) |
If you enter your account balance, we’ll show how much margin takes up of your total capital |
Example Calculation
Let’s say you want to trade 1 lot of EUR/USD at 1:30 leverage.
If EUR/USD = 1.1547, your notional value is $115,471.
With 1:30 leverage, your margin required = $3,849.03.
You’ll also receive a personalized explanation of what this means for a deeper understanding of the margin calculation and its impact in your trading account.
