Looking out for margin requirements is crucial. If your equity level falls below 15% of the required margin, some or all of your current positions will be forcibly closed to prevent further losses—that is called a Stop Out. We will send you a notification known as a margin call when your equity level falls down to 25% of the overall margin. It will give you time to make an additional deposit or close some orders manually.
Tradeca Forex margin calculator helps you to determine the margin size you must maintain in your trading account to support an open position. You can also use it to calculate the pip value of a certain order or optimise your leverage. The calculator is an essential tool for every trader—it helps you prevent Stop Outs and manage your risks properly.
To determine the required margin size for a planned order, select the tab with the preferred trading platform: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or Tradeca Trader. Choose the currency pair, your account's currency, leverage level, and trade volume. Finally, press the Calculate button. The margin will be calculated automatically using the specifications of the chosen trading platform. This number shows how much funds you need to open your order with the current leverage.

You can also use the Tradeca Forex margin calculator to adjust your leverage.
Choose the currency pair, your account's currency, leverage level, and trade volume. Finally,
press the Calculate button. The margin will be calculated automatically using the specifications
of the chosen trading platform. This number shows how much funds you need to open your order
with the current leverage. If the calculated margin size for an order is larger than your
available funds, try selecting a higher leverage ratio.
Example: how to optimise leverage
Let us say you want to buy a standard lot of EURUSD using 1:100 leverage and have 600 USD in your account. According to the calculator, you need 1,064.54 USD to place the order. If you change your leverage to 1:200, the margin will be 532.27 USD. You can now place that order once you increase the leverage in your account settings.
A pip is the smallest unit of price change in Forex. Its meaning varies for different trading instruments:
Let us say you want to buy a standard lot of EURUSD, and the price is currently at 1.0762. The calculated pip value of this trade is 10 USD. That means that if the price falls to 1.0761, or one pip down, you will lose 10 USD. And if it grows back to 1.0762, or one pip up, you will make 10 USD.
