  • This is done on a per symbol basis, so leverage is calculated separately on each symbol. For example, if a trader has 400 lots Buy on GBPUSD, and then starts trading USDCHF, his/her margin requirement for USDCHF, will not be affected by the existing GBPUSD positions.
  • Each symbol/instrument is given a specific "margin group".
  • Leverage calculation is done using the specific parameters and tiers of this margin group.
  • Above you may find all the tables containing the tiering of margin groups together with the leverage for each tier.
  • FlowTrader tiers are calculated on notional USD volume traded where as MT4 are calculated based on open lots.
  • You may find the margin group of each instrument from the pricing list.
