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

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.
