How the Forex Margin Calculator works

Margin is the deposit your broker locks while a trade is open. Margin = trade size in USD ÷ leverage. Regulators in the UK and EU cap retail leverage at 1:30 on major pairs and 1:20 on gold; many offshore brokers offer far more, which magnifies losses just as much as profits.

FAQ

What does 1:100 leverage mean?

You control $100 of currency for every $1 of margin. A 1% move against you then wipes out the full margin.
