What is leverage?
One of the main attractions of trading CFDs. The higher the leverage, the larger position a trader can build up and control using the initial margin requirement. However, the increased opportunity brings increased risk.
To calculate normal margin-based leverage, divide the total transaction value by the amount of margin:
For example: trade $100,000 as one standard lot of EUR/USD with a required deposit of $1,000 as a 1% margin and your margin-based leverage is 100:1 (100,000/1,000). For a margin requirement of just 0.25%, the margin-based leverage will be 400:1, using the same formula.
-
What is dynamic leverage?
Dynamic Leverage is a mechanism that changes the amount of margin required/used margin for new trades dynamically for clients to manage their exposure better in real-time, without affecting margin on any previous trades. For more information, kindly click here
-

-
What are the margin requirements?
Margin refers to the funds required to open a trade and maintain it.
The initial margin requirements for a trade are dependent on:
-Trading account leverage
-Size of the trade
-The instrument
-The instrument
-Account base currency
-
What is the definition of Free Margin?
Free margin is the money in a trading account that is available for trading.
To calculate Free Margin, you must subtract the margin if your open positions from your Equity (i.e., your Balance plus or minus any profit/loss from open positions).
Example
If someone with a Balance of $10,000 were to buy 2 lots of EURUSD at the exchange rate of 1.20000, he would need $240,000 ($200,000 X 1.20000).His required margin for this position would be 240,000/50 = $4800.
Now let’s say that the price of EURUSD drops to 1.19050 after he entered the trade. This would mean that he incurred a loss of 0.00950 pips (1.20000 - 1.19050), which is equivalent to $2280 ($240,000 X 0.00950).
So, using the Free Margin formula, the trader’s free margin in this case would be Equity ($10,000 - $2280) minus Margin ($4800) = $2920.
-
What is a Margin Call?
A margin call is the term used to describe the alert sent to a trader to notify them that the capital in their account has fallen below the minimum amount needed to keep a position open.
A margin call can mean that the trader must put up additional funds to balance the account, or close positions to reduce the maintenance margin required.
Margin call can also be used to describe the status of your account – i.e., you are ‘on margin call’ because the funds in your account are below the margin requirement.
When you trade with leveraged products such as CFDs, there are two types of margins:
-A deposit margin, needed to open the position
-A maintenance margin, needed to keep the position open.
**It is the failure to uphold the latter that will trigger a margin call.
If a trade starts to lose money, the funds in your account may no longer be enough to keep the position open and your provider will ask you to top up your account to bring your balance up to the minimum margin – this notification is a margin call.
If you top up your funds, the position will remain open. If not, your provider may close the position and any losses incurred will be realized.
The term margin call came from the practice of brokers calling their clients to notify them of the account deficit. But these days, most margin calls are delivered by email.
-
What is a Stop Out?
A stop out level in forex is a predefined point of 'margin level' whereby a traders' open positions will be closed, to avoid a negative account balance.
The margin level % signifies how much equity you have compared to your margin. The use of leverage plays a big role in this, as the more leverage you use, the less margin you are using to secure position(s), leaving more free equity.
This is another reason why excessive use of leverage is risky. You can potentially lose more of your equity before reaching Stop Out, effectively wiping out most of your account.
-
What is the Stop Out level?
Stop Out level is when your Margin Level falls to a specific percentage (%) level in which one or all your open positions are closed automatically (liquidated).
-
When does a margin call and stop out occur?
Our Margin call occurs when equity falls below 50% of the margin required for open trades on the account and stop out occurs when equity falls below 20% of the margin required for open trades on the account.

What is the difference between Market and Instant execution?
Instant execution: A client places an order and specifies both the volume and price. The order is processed instantly. If the order cannot be executed with the initially requested price (i.e., the price changes during the execution process), the trader receives a re-quote order that they can either accept or decline.
Market execution: A client places an order and only specifies the volume. The bid/ask price of the asset is generated during the execution process. If the price changes during the execution process, the broker does not reject the client’s request but fills the order with the current pricing. The final price is the required volume multiplied by the latest pricing available via Market Depth.
-
What can cause my positions to close automatically?
