Leveraged trading allows you to trade amounts that are significantly higher than the funds you invest, with your investment serving only as the margin. While high leverage can greatly enhance potential returns, it can also significantly increase potential losses. As our client, you have the opportunity to trade with amounts many times greater than what you could invest in a particular CFD, benefiting from the margin we provide.
Leverage is sometimes expressed in percentage terms and referred to as the margin requirement. For example, a leverage ratio of 1:30 corresponds to a margin requirement of 3.34%.
To maintain your open positions, a minimum margin level of 50% is required. If your margin level falls below this minimum, we reserve the right to liquidate any open positions until your margin level rises above 50%.If your margin level drops below 100%, you will be unable to open any new positions.Should your margin level reach 70%, we will send you a margin call notification, which may come via email or other means. This notification serves as an early warning regarding the performance of your open positions with us.The initial required margin is the amount you need to have available when opening a position. The “initial margin percentage” is determined solely at the discretion of the Company for each underlying financial instrument.
The required margin is calculated using the following formula: Used Margin + (amount * spread).
You plan to buy a CFD on 1000 EUR/USD at a price of 1.05302. The initial margin percentage on the EUR/USD CFD is 3.33%. The spread on the EUR/USD CFD is $0.00003. Your required margin is calculated as follows: (1000*1.05302)*3.33% + (1000*0.00003) = $35.10097
