CFDs and leveraged forex are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

Margin Calculator

Required margin is the amount your broker sets aside to keep a leveraged position open. It equals the position value divided by the leverage.

You enter the exchange rate yourself, so the result is only as current as the numbers you type in.

How the calculation works

One lot of EUR/USD at 1.1000 is worth 110,000 US dollars. At 30:1 leverage the margin is about 3,667 dollars. Margin is not the amount at risk: the position can lose more or less than the margin, depending on how far the price moves.
