Leverage and Margin

Most brokerage firms in the foreign exchange allows a very high rate of leverage ratio (leverage ratio), or in other words, a very low percentage of the margin. That is why in the profits and losses that can be very large in Forex, even though the actual prices of the coins themselves do not change much - certainly not like a stock. In the stock market prices can double or go up three times, or fall to zero; but in the currency market, exchange rates do not change in this way, because the value of the currency does not differ substantially and significantly, and require a margin of less than or less risky than stocks.

Most brokers allow worth lifting 100:1, or 1% margin. This means that you can buy or sell $ 100,000 worth of currency while maintaining the $ 1,000 in your account. In the mini-accounts can reach the value of the crane to 200.

Margin in the foreign exchange market is to ensure the performance, which is the amount of capital needed to ensure cover losses. Thus, you do not buy the currency with borrowed money, and there is no interest in 99% of the currencies that are not covered by the margin.

As an example, if a trader in the Forex market to purchase a $ 100,000 currency, it does not have a deposit of $ 1,000 and borrows $ 99,000 to buy them.

Margin Ratio: = 100 \ leverage ratio


Example:

Crane 100:1 ratio back margin rate of 100/100 = 1%. 200:1 ratio back by a margin rate of 100/200 = 0.5%.
