Margin calculation

Calculation of the initial margin for 1 CFD contract for silver

Instrument Symbol	Financial Instrument	Lot/ Nominal Value	Pip size, quotation tick	Standard Transaction Spread in pips	Maximum number of lots
SILVER	Contract based on the value of a troy ounce of silver	Price of troy ounce* 18 000 USD	0,01	5	10

Margin level calculation for 1 lot:

- silver price (for example 12,20) *18 000 USD=12,20*18 000 = 219 600USD – contract value

- margin level is 3% of this figure, i.e. 6 588USD

- value of one pip : 0,01* 18 000USD= 180 USD

If the price of silver changes from 12,20 to 12,21 and you have long position (i.e. you have bought a contract of silver) your profit will amount to 180 USD.

Calculation of the initial margin for 1 CFD contract on the Dow Jones index

Instrument Symbol	Financial Instrument	Lot/ Nominal Value	Pip size, quotation tick	Standard Transaction Spread in pips	Maximum number of lots
USACASH	Instrument based on Dow Jones index level	Index level * 5 USD	1	8	50

Margin level calculation for 1 lot:

- index contract value ( for example 11347)*5 USD = 11347 * 5USD= 56 735 USD - contract value

- margin level is 3% of this figure, i.e. 1 702,05US

- value of one pip: 1* 5USD = 5USD

If the price of index level changes form 11 347 to 11 348 and you have long position (i.e. you have bought a contract on the Dow Jones index) your profit will amount to 5 USD.

Calculation of the initial margin for currencies

Calculation of the initial margin for 1 lot CFD contract EUR/USD

Instrument Symbol	Financial Instrument	Lot/ Nominal Value	Pip size, quotation tick	Standard Transaction Spread in pips	Maximum number of lots
EURUSD	Euro versus America Dollar	100 000 EUR	0,0001	3	50

EUR – base currency

USD – quote currency

The value of a contract is 100 000 EUR. The initial margin is 1% of that sum what gives us 1,000 EUR.

Profit/Loss of change of one pip 100 000 * 0,0001 = 10 USD

Calculation of the initial margin for 0,1 lot CFD contract USD/PLN (10 000 USD value of contract)

Instrument Symbol	Financial Instrument	Lot/ Nominal Value	Pip size, quotation tick	Standard Transaction Spread in pips	Maximum number of lots
USDPLN	America Dollar versus Polish Zloty	100 000 USD	0,0001	40/100/150	50

USD – base currency

PLN – quote currency

The value of a contact is 10 000 USD. The initial margin is 1% of that sum that gives us 100 USD.

Profit/Loss of change of one pip 10 000 * 0,0001 = 1 PLN
