How to Calculate Metatrader 4 Margin?

by Fxigor

One of the most important things to understand when trading with Metatrader 4 is how to call the collate margin. Margin, or leverage, is a way for traders to increase their buying power with small capital. With a margin, traders can significantly improve their potential profits (or losses!) from a trade. Calculating the margin in Metatrader 4 is relatively easy and quick, so let’s look at it now.

To calculate Metatrader 4 margin, multiply position size units and price and divide with leverage. For example, if you BUY 1 lot EURUSD with 1:500 leverage and the price is 1.06, then your margin will be :

First, determine the value of 1 mini lot in the trading account’s base currency. In this case, a mini lot is 0.1 standard lots, so the value of 1 mini lot of the currency pair being traded (let’s assume it’s EUR/USD) is:

10 000 (mini lot size) * 1.06 (the current price) = 10,600 USD

Next, determine the required margin based on the leverage provided by the broker. In this case, the leverage is 1:100, which means that the margin required to open a position is 1% of the total position size. Therefore, the required margin for a 1 mini lot position is:

10,600 / 100 = 106 USD
