- Margin Trading
Some markets offer some degree of leverage, but trading forex with
World Index gives you up to 200:1 leverage - regardless of how often
you trade or how much you have in your account.
Leverage can be a useful tool in the world of forex because it allows traders to control more in the market with less margin from their account. Without leverage a trader would need to put up $200,000 in margin to trade 1 standard lot in forex! But with 200:1 leverage, only $1,000 is needed to control that same contract.
Two-Edge Sword
Keep in mind, more leverage can be beneficial, but it also means more risk. For example, assume a trader is holding a 1 standard lot contract (200,000) with $1,000 in margin. If this trade increases by 100 points (which a daily 100+ point move is not uncommon for many currency pairs), at $20 per point the trader sees a 200% return on investment. Likewise, if the trade decreases by 100 points, the entire investment could be lost. It is important that forex traders carefully manage their risk exposure.
By default, World Index traders are given 200:1 leverage (FX)
Forex Margin
In the Forex market, the term margin is most often referring to the amount of money required to open a leveraged position, or a contract in the market. It is calculated in 2 ways: Necessary Margin and Usable Margin. Necessary margin is the amount of money used to hold open positions. Usable margin is the amount of funds available to place additional positions.
The default leverage level is 200:1 for all new standard accounts in FX Understanding and Calculating a Margin Call
A margin call is reached if a customer's account equity falls below the required margin. In other words, because institutions are loaning the majority of the value of a contract to a trader, safeguards have been put in place to help prevent a trader from going into the negative and owing the institution additional funds. Customers are called upon to send additional funds or the position(s) will be closed at market price. Traders will be subject to a margin call at 75% margin level, the automatic Hedge/Lock of open positions at 30% in order to prevent further degradation, subequently, closures to bring the margin level back to a suitable percentage.
The margin level is calculated as: Equity / Margin * 100 = Margin % (Ratio)
For example, a trader with $1,000 in equity, using $500 in margin, could calculate margin level as such: 1,000 / 500 * 100 = 200%.
At 100% margin level (using the previous example, when equity is $500 and margin is $500) a trader is essentially using their entire available margin, and is unable to place new trades. When this level drops to 30% and below (when equity reaches $150 and margin required (necessary) is $500), trades will automatically be Hedged/Locked until, subsequently closure should the client fail to increase the equity to 100% of the Necessary.
Understanding Contract Sizes
Understanding contract sizes, otherwise known as lots, is a necessary
foundation when understanding the need for high leverage in the Forex
market. Each standard lot traded is a 200,000 contract. In other
words, when trading one lot in a standard account, a trader is
essentially placing a 200,000 trade in the market.
Without leverage, most investors would not be able to afford such a transaction. Leverage of 200:1 would allow a trader to place the same one lot (200,000) trade with the post of 1,000 in margin.
200,000 divided by 200 equals 1,000, thus 200:1 leverage means that 1,000 of margin is able to control a 200,000 position.
What is a Mini Account?
Mini accounts are essentially 5% the value of standard accounts,
meaning that mini contracts are $10,000. A trade of one mini lot would
be a $10,000 trade, whereas a standard lot is of course a $200,000
trade.
