Margin example
Margin for metals will be calculated as the following:
Lots × Contract Size × Market Price /Leverage.
Example (1): If an account has 1:400 leverage and opens a 1 lot of XAUUSD (at 1300) , Margin requirement: 1 lot × 100 Ounces × 1300 /400 = $325
.Example (2): If an account has 1:500 leverage and opens a 0.6 lots of XAGUSD (at 17) Margin requirement: 0.6 lots × 5000 ounces × 17 /500=$102.
Margin for energies will be calculated as the following:
Lots × Contract Size × Market Price × 1/100
For example: Margin requirement for 1 lot of USOIL.cfd (at 41.50) 1 lot × 1000 Barrels × 41.50 ×1/100 = $415.
Please note that leverage on Energies can not be changed form your BackOffice.
Profit calculations
Profit for all metals and energies shown above will be calculated as the following:
(close price-open price)× Contract Size × Lots
For example: If you bought 5 lots of USOIL.cfd at 41.00 and you managed to close your trade at 41.50, then your profit will be (41,50-41,00) × 1000 Barrels × 5 lots = $2500.
Please note that the above way of profit calculations would apply to losses calculations as well in the same manner.
