Question
What is your Margin Call/Stop Out Level?

Answer

Classic accounts – 25/15

Pro accounts – 25/15

Optimum accounts – 25/15

Example – You open a 1-lot USDCHF trade on either a Classic account or Pro account with 1:200 leverage. The Margin would be calculated like this:

 

100,000 (1 lot)/200 (Leverage) =500.

 

So USD 500 is the Margin. The Margin Call is 25% of 500, giving us USD 125. The Stop Out is 15% of the Margin at USD 75.

 

Always keep a very close eye on these numbers when trading.
