Calculation
This calculator provides an estimate based on the values entered. Actual margin requirements, leverage limits, contract specifications and liquidation rules can vary by broker, instrument, jurisdiction, account type and market conditions.
Leverage increases the amount of market exposure that can be controlled with a given amount of margin. It does not reduce the underlying market risk of the position.
