Indices Trading Margin Calculator on MT4

The example explained and illustrated below, the set stock indices leverage is 100:1, the margin which is 1% is $2683.07, therefore the total amount controlled by the indices trader is: $268,307 - this is because with this gearing the indices trader has used little of his money and borrowed the rest, with this set at 100:1, the trader is using 1 % of their capital, this 1% is $2683.07, if 1% is $2683.07 then 100% is $268,307

• If = 50:1 - Indices Trading Leverage

Then indices trading margin requirement = 1/50 *100= 2%

if you have $1,000,

1,000* 50 = $50,000.

1,000 / 50,000 * 100= 2%

(Simplify - your capital is $1,000 after gearing you control $50,000 - $1,000 is what percent of $50,000 - it is 2% margin) that is your indices trading margin requirement
