Example:

A client with EUR account and leverage 1:200 has Long position for 420 lots EURUSD.

Margin requirement for this position is 290 000 EUR

  • 150 000 EUR for the first 300 lots with 1:200 leverage
  • 100 000 EUR for the next 100 lots with 1:100 leverage
  • 40 000 EUR for the final 20 lots with 1:50 leverage

The next trade Buy 20 lots EURUSD will consume 70 000 EUR margin

  • 10 000 EUR for the first 5 lots – bringing the Used margin to 300 000 EUR
  • 60 000 EUR for the next 15 lots – leverage 1:25 (coefficient 0.5 applied to 1:50 leverage)

A client can have positions in different instruments that again bring the used margin above the thresholds
specified.

A client with EUR account and leverage 1:200 has Long position for 120 lots Ger30 (at price 13000)
and Short position in GOLD for 40 lots (at price 1770).

Total used margin requirement is 290 000 EUR

  • 130 000 EUR for Long position for the first 80 lots in Ger30 at 1:200 leverage
  • 130 000 EUR for Long position for the final 40 lots in Ger30 at 1:100 leverage
  • 35 400 USD Short position in GOLD for 40 lots at 1:200 leverage (30 000 EUR at EURUSD = 1.1800)

The next trade Buy 40 lots EURUSD will consume 30 000 EUR margin

  • 10 000 EUR for the first 20 lots at leverage 1:200 – bringing the Used margin to 300 000 EUR
  • 20 000 EUR for the next 20 lots – leverage 1:100 (coefficient 0.5 applied to 1:200 leverage)

If a client has more than 1 account, the Used margin thresholds are reduced proportionately to the number of
accounts. Thus a client with 2 accounts in EUR will have Used margin EUR threshold for each of the accounts reduced
by half.
