[QUOTE="Beringin, post: 149884, member: 55225"] I am a beginner currency trader, focussing only on USDJPY. I am trying to calculate total money I need (as potential useable margin [I]and[/I] margin), to accommodate market swings. The scenario is: Long USDJPY, Margin required is 0.5%, For minimum position size of 50K, minimum margin required is 0.5%, that will be 1:1000, that will be 50USD. (I will be using IG) Goal calculation = how much movement and how much $ margin required for that movement. (right now USDJPY is approximately 130.00). Scenario 1: 50 pips movements, how much USD is needed for potential margin? 1 pips = 0.01 JPYUSD - 1 JPY = 0.009 USD - 1 pips = 0.09/10 JPY = 0.009 JPY or 0.00008 USD, 50 pips = 0.004 USD. With leverage of 1:200, 50 pips = 0.8 USD. Lot size = 0.05 x 100,000 = 50,000 0.8*50K = 4K [COLOR=#0000ff]Margin required on 4K = 0.5% = 20USD. <Is this correct?[/COLOR] Scenario 1: 100 pips needs how many dollar of margin? 1 pip = 0.00008 USD 100 pips = 0.00008 USD x 100 = 0.008 USD With leverage of 1:200, 100 pips = 0.008USD x 200 LEVERAGE = 0.8 USD. With lot size of 0.05 x 1000,000 = 50,000,100 pips = 0.8USD x 50,000 units = 40K. [COLOR=#4d4dff]Using 0.5% margin, 40K requires, 200USD deposit. <Is this correct?[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
