Margin Requirements and Trading Limits

As the transaction size increases, even a minor market movement might have a great impact on your Trading Account, therefore, in addition to the above-mentioned categorization and as an effort to protect your investment capital from excessive leverage, we have implemented a sophisticated Margin Requirement Policy, which you can see below:

Forex Majors Forex Minors Forex Exotics Metals Commodities Shares Indices Cryptocurrencies
MAXIMUM SIZE PER SYMBOL $20,000,000
TIERS NOTIONAL VALUE (USD) LEVERAGE MARGIN
TIER 1 0 – 1,000,000 1:500 0.2 %
TIER 2 > 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 1:200 0.5 %
TIER 3 > 2,000,000 - 5,000,000 1:100 1 %
TIER 4 > 5,000,000 - 10,000,000 1:50 2 %
TIER 5 > 10 000 000 1:20 5 %

MAXIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE

The maximum aggregated notional value per account permitted is 30,000,000 USD.

MARGIN HEDGED

50% Margin Hedged applies for all symbols.

Margin Hedged Example

Assume you open a Buy and a Sell position of 1 lot each on EURUSD, with a leverage of 1:100 for a EUR Denominated Account.

Margin Hedged Requirements = [(2 * 100,000 * 50%)] /100 = 1,000 EUR

How do I calculate Margin Requirements?

To calculate the margin requirements, it is important first to calculate the USD Notional Value. 

Notional Value (USD) Formulas:     

FX Symbols: Lot Size * Contract Size * Base Currency/USD market price

NON-FX Symbols: Lot Size * Contract Size * Price * Symbol Currency/USD market price

TIER 1

Assume you open a Position #1 Buy 7 lots EURUSD 1.2312 for a USD Denominated Account, with a Leverage 1:500.

The notional value is: 7 * 100 000 * 1.2312 = 861,840 USD. Since the notional value of 861,840 USD is not greater than 1,000,000 USD, the Leverage offered is 1:500.

Margin Requirements = 861,840 / 500 = 1,723.68 USD

You open a position # 2 Buy 5 lots EURUSD 1.2350

The notional value is: 5 * 100 000 * 1.2350 = 617,500 USD.

The aggregate notional value of Position #1 and Position #2 is:

861,840 (for position # 1) + 617,500 (for position # 2) = 1,479,340 USD.

In this case, the aggregate notional value of open positions is greater than 1,000,000 USD, but less than 2,000,000 USD.

Thus, a leverage of 1:500 is provided for the first 1,000,000 USD, and a leverage of 1:200 for the remaining 479,340 USD.

Margin Requirements = [(1,000,000 / 500) + (479,340 / 200)] = 4,396.70 USD

Assume you open a Position #3 Buy 20 lots EURUSD 1.2400

The notional value is: 20 * 100 000 * 1.2400 = 2,480,000 USD.

The aggregate notional value of all three positions is:

861,840 (for position # 1) + 617,500 (for position # 2) + 2,480,000 (for position #3) = 3,959,340 USD.

Now the aggregate notional value of open positions is greater than 2,000,000 USD but less than 5,000,000 USD.

Thus, a leverage of 1:500 is provided for the first 1,000,000 USD, a leverage of 1:200 for the next 1,000,000 USD and a leverage of 1:100 for the remaining amount of 1,959,340 USD.

Margin Requirements = [(1,000,000 / 500) + (1,000,000 / 200) + (1,959,340 / 100)] = 26,593.40 USD

Assume you open a Position #4 Buy 30 lots EURUSD 1.2500.

The notional value is: 30 * 100 000 * 1.2500 = 3,750,000 USD.

The aggregate notional value of all four positions is:

861,840 (for position # 1) + 617,500 (for position # 2) + 2,480,000 (for position #3) + 3,750,000 (for position #4) = 7,709,340 USD.

Now the aggregate notional value of open positions is greater than 5,000,000 USD but less than 10,000,000 USD.

Thus, a leverage of 1:500 is provided for the first 1,000,000 USD, a leverage of 1:200 for the next 1,000,000 USD, a leverage of 1:100 for the next 3,000,000 USD and a leverage of 1:50 for the remaining amount of 2,709,340 USD.

Margin Requirements = [(1,000,000 / 500) + (1,000,000 / 200) + (3,000,000 / 100) + (2,709,340 / 50)] = 91,186.80 USD

Assume you open a Position #5 Buy 30 lots EURUSD 1.2300.

The notional value is: 30 * 100 000 * 1.2500 = 3,690,000 USD.

The aggregate notional value of all five positions is:

861,840 (for position # 1) + 617,500 (for position # 2) + 2,480,000 (for position #3) + 3,750,000 (for position #4) + 3,690,000 (for position #5) = 11,399,340 USD.

Now the aggregate notional value of open positions is greater than 10,000,000 USD.

Thus, a leverage of 1:500 is provided for the first 1,000,000 USD, a leverage of 1:200 for the next 1,000,000 USD, a leverage of 1:100 for the next 3,000,000 USD and a leverage of 1:50 for 5,000,000 USD and a leverage of 1.20 for the remaining amount of 1,399,340 USD.

Margin Requirements = [(1,000,000 / 500) + (1,000,000 / 200) + (3,000,000 / 100) + (5,000,000 / 50) + (1,399,340 / 20)] = 161,136.80 USD
