Results are estimates. Brokers and prop firms calculate prices and limits in their own way — check their rules.

How it works

Margin = lots × contract size × price ÷ leverage, converted into your account currency. One lot of EUR/USD at 1.0800 with 1:100 leverage needs 100,000 × 1.08 ÷ 100 = $1,080.
