• If = 50:1 - Stock Indices Trading Leverage Ratio

Then stock indices margin requirement = 1/50 *100= 2 %

If you have $1,000,

1,000* 50 = $50,000.

1,000 / 50,000 * 100= 2%

(Simplify - your capital is $1,000 after leverage you control $50,000 - $1,000 is what percentage of $50,000 - it is 2% margin) that is your stock indices trading margin requirement

• If = 20:1 - Stock Indices Trading Leverage Ratio
