Calculate Required Margin
Margin required is affected by changes in the market rate. For example, the margin required to purchase 1 contract of gold or silver should be the amount of U.S. dollars needed to purchase 1 ounce of gold or silver.
Example 1 (Gold Trading)
A client buys 1 contract of Gold, with Gold trading at 1547.43 / 1547.49. The leverage is 200:1.
Required margin = 1 ounce / 200 x 1537.49 = $7.68
Example 2 (Silver Trading)
A client sells 1 contract of Silver, with Silver trading at 45.13 / 45.19. The leverage is 100:1.
Required margin = 100 ounce / 100 x 45.13 = $45.13
