Calculate margin for a new trade and monitor your margin level. Know your distance to margin call before it becomes a problem.
Margin level is equity divided by the margin in use. Start from an account with $10,000 equity and $2,000 tied up in open trades, then drag the loss: the ladder shows what each threshold costs you in money, not in percentages.
The money column is the loss that takes this account to that level. It is the same arithmetic the calculator above runs — the point of the ladder is that the dangerous levels arrive much closer together than the percentages suggest.
FxPro's specific thresholds: Margin Call at 80% margin level, Stop-Out at 50%. The account health panel above already shows your distance to these levels based on what you entered. Know your numbers before the market tests them.
At 1:200 leverage, a 0.5% adverse move on a 1-lot USD/ZAR position equals full margin. Always keep free margin well above your required margin.
