Margin is the amount of money required in your account in order to open a trade.

To calculate the FX margin requirement, you will require the following formula:

(Market quote * Volume) / Leverage = $Margin Requirement

The current EURUSD price is quoted as 1.13729, and we would like to trade one standard lot (100,000) using our account leverage of 1:100

Since margin is essentially the collateral required in order to open a trade, if the market moves against a client’s position and your overall account equity is reduced, then you may not have sufficient funds available to maintain this position. If your Equity (Balance - Open Profit/Loss) falls below 50% of the margin required to maintain an open position then the system will begin automatically closing the largest losing position in an attempt to increase your equity.

Our margin call and stop out levels are 80% and 50% respectively.

Your account leverage is the multiplier of your ability buy a larger volume of currency, and will determine how much margin is required for you to open a position. Example If you have leverage of 300:1, you can control a large position ($150,000) with a small amount of margin ($500).

The maximum leverage is currently 500:1.

Go to the market watch area, right click and choose symbols. Click on the properties for a particular trading symbol and it will give you all details including the swap rates.

If you hold a position overnight on a Wednesday, the financing (Swap) charge is multiplied by three (3) times. This accounts for the settlement of your open position(s) for the proceeding weekend. The financing charge is also affected by public holidays.

Overnight financing costs are applied during the New York close which equates to 00:00 platform time.

Take profit and stop losses are classed as pending orders. Unfortunately, it may not always be possible to fill these orders at the desired levels due to price volatility or unforeseen market events. Once triggered, pending orders then become market orders and subjected to whatever market liquidity is available at that time.

Our pricing is derived from top tier liquidity providers who stream prices to our platform.

MT4 always uses Bid price to construct the chart in all available periods.

Our platform or chart time is set to Platform time. It cannot be changed on your MT4.

The MT4 chart will display the BID price by default which is the (SELL) price. When you enter a short position, in order for you to close this trade you need to (BUY) or go long. Therefore, the ASK price or BUY price is required which is not reflected on the chart. Another way to think of this is the BID price or chart price plus the spread.

Yes. You can use EAs (Expert Advisors) available from third party providers. As SRS Tradings is not associated with any of these providers, we cannot provide additional support for these automated strategies and suggest you contact the source directly should you experience any difficulties related to settings or methodology.

Step Two Select the “Colors” tab and make sure the ASK line colour is something bright such as Aqua in the example below. Step Three You should then see something like this below with both the BID and ASK price displayed in the example below.
