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
SILVERs	Contract based on the value of a troy ounce of silver	Price of troy ounce* 5 000 USD	0,01	5	15

Margin level calculation for 1 lot:

- silver price (for example 41,20) *5 000 USD=41,20*5 000 = 206 000 USD – contract value

- margin level is 3% of this figure, i.e. 6 180 USD

- value of one pip : 0,01* 5 000USD= 50 USD

If the price of silver changes from 41,20 to 41,21 and you have long position (i.e. you have bought a contract of silver) your profit will amount to 50 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
US.30	Instrument based on contract for DJIA index	Index level * 5 USD	1	5	15

Margin level calculation for 1 lot:


- index contract value ( for example 11480)*5 USD = 11480 * 5 USD= 57 400 USD - contract value

- margin level is 2% of this figure, i.e. 1 148 USD

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


If the price of contract level changes from 11 480 to 11 481 and you have long position (i.e. you have bought a contract on the DJIA 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 American Dollar	100 000 EUR	0,0001	2	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	American Dollar versus Polish Zloty	100 000 USD	0,0001	35/100	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
