  • How can I calculate 1 pip of profit or loss?

    Amount of Base Currency * Pips= Value in Quote Currency

    Examples:

    Value of 1 pip in AUD/USD= 1 Lot (100 000)*0.0001= 10 USD

    Value of 1 pip in GBP/CHF= 1 Lot (100 000)*0.0001=10 CHF

    Value of 1 pip in AUD/JPY=1 Lot (100 000)*0.01= 1000 JPY

  • How can I calculate my margin?

    Margin is always calculated in the instrument currency, which is then converted to the account currency.

     

    To calculate margin in Forex pairs you can use this formula:

    Lots * Contract size / Leverage

    For example, if you would like to trade 1 lot of EURUSD with a leverage of 1:500, this is the margin requirement calculation: 1*100,000/500= 200 EUR= 237.53 USD.

     

    To calculate margin for gold or silver the formula is:

    Lots Contract Size Current Market Price * Margin requirements%

    For example, if you would like to trade 1 lot of XAUUSD the calculation is 1*100*1740*0.5/100 = 870 USD.

    If you would like to trade silver, the calculation is 1*5000*25.391*1/100=1269.55 USD

     

    Contract sizes:

    XAUUSD,XAUEUR(Gold) contract size per 1 lot = 100

    XAGUSD,XAGEUR(Silver)Contract size per 1 lot = 5,000

    XAUUSD,XAUEUR margin requirement = 0.5% = 1:200 (constant)

    XAGUSD,XAGEUR margin requirement = 1% = 1:100 (constant)

    EURUSD = 1.197179

    JPYUSD = 109.272

     

    DE30 Example

    DE30 1 Lot ==> 1*115270.201/100 = 152.702 EUR = 152.702 1.19179 = 181.98 USD

     

    JP225 Example

    JP225 1 Lot ==> 1*100*29769*1/100= 29769 JPY = 29769/109.272 = 272.43 USD

  • How can I find your server on the platform?

  • How do you calculate swaps in currency pairs (in forex) and for Gold/Silver?

    The swap formula is: Swap Long/Short in points (Point Value Lots in quote currency).

    Please note that, depending on the instrument, the swap triples on one day of the week .

    Example: 5 Lots Buy GBP/USD where Swap Long is -1.909. 1 point is equivalent to 1 USD. Hence, 5 (-1.909) = -9.55 USD, 1 day swap for 5 Lots Buy GBP/USD

    Example: 2.25 Lots Sell GBP/JPY where Swap Short is -2.852. 1 point is equivalent to 100 JPY. Hence, 2.25 *100*(-2.852) = -641.70 JPY

    Example: 14.10 Lots Buy USOIL, where Swap Long is -12.075 points. 1 point is equivalent to 0.001 USD. Hence, 14.10 * 0.001 (-12.07) = -12.05 USD

    *Note that the quote currency is in point value lots in brackets.

    **Please note that every Wednesday rollover swap triples.
