Whenever the accounts overall position changes, the system will automatically recalculate the required margin, applying the updated margin requirements based on each instrument’s applicable leverage tier.

Example:

Account equity: USD 45,000 therefore Tier 1 applied. The current tier leverage is 1:1000, where the margin requirement for Gold is USD 300 per lot, and for EURUSD it is USD 100 per lot. Assuming a total holding of 10 lots of long Gold, the total margin requirement is USD 3,000.

Account equity increases to USD 52,000 therefore Tier 2 is applied when the next trade is made.

  • If no new positions are opened or closed, the margin requirement will remain unchanged.
  • If a new position to BUY 1 lot of EURUSD is added in addition to the existing Gold position, the margin of the existing Gold position will remain at USD 3,000, and the margin of the EURUSD position will be applied at Tier 2 leverage which is 1:500 and equates to USD 200
    Total Margin will be:  Gold at 3000 + EURUSD at 200 = USD 3200
  • However, if an additional 1 lot of long Gold is added, the margin requirement per lot on Gold moves to Tier 2 and becomes USD 600 or 1:500. The system will also automatically recalculate the margin requirement for all of the open Gold positions:

    Total margin = 11 lots × USD 600 = USD 6,600
  • If 1 lot of the existing Gold position is closed, the system will also recalculate the remaining open position margin requirement:
    Total margin = 9 × USD 600 = USD 5,400
  • If 10 lots of a short Gold position are opened, the system treats these positions as fully hedged. The required margin will be calculated as zero, as per standard practice.
    Total margin = USD 0

Clients should also note that the leverage provided by the company can be as high as 1:1000. The client acknowledges and understands that the company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to apply a maximum leverage of 1:30.
