Calculate Required Margin
LEX offers margin calculation in real time. That means margin requirement is affected by changes in the market rate. For non-dollar based currency pairs the margin required will be converted into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing market price for that pair. For example, the margin required to place a trade of GBP 100,000 should not be, and is not, the same as the margin needed for a trade of US$100,000.
Example 1 (US Dollar based currency pair)
USD/JPY rate displays 84.838 / 84.851. A client places a buy order with leverage 100:1 and contract size 100,000.
Used Margin = $1,000 USD
Formula for US Dollar based currency pair: contract size (base currency) / leverage
Example 2 (Non US Dollar based currency pair)
EUR/USD rate displays 1.44551 / 1.44569. A client places a buy order with leverage 100:1 and contract size 100,000.
Used Margin = EUR 100,000 (base currency) / 100 x 1.44569 = $1,445.69 USD
Formula for non US Dollar based currency pair: contract size (base currency) / leverage x market rate
