Margin calculator
See how much margin a trade ties up at the leverage you chose for your challenge, and how much of your account stays free.
Margin needed
$1,135.50
- Position value
- $113,550
- Price used
- 1.13550
- Leverage
- 1:100
This trade ties up 11% of a $10,000 account, leaving $8,865 free.
Leverage does not change your daily loss limit: it stays $500 on Classic. Higher leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
How it's calculated
Margin = trade size in lots x 100,000 units x the value of one unit of the first currency in US dollars / leverage. Margin is not a cost: it is the part of your simulated equity set aside while the trade is open, and it is released when the trade closes. Margin rates can differ by instrument on the platform.
