MT4 Oil Trading Margin Calculation

The oil margin calculation example explained below, the set oil leverage ratio is 100:1, the oil margin which is 1% is $2683.07, therefore the total amount controlled by the trader is: $268,307 - this is because with this 100:1 leverage ratio, the trader has used little of their money and borrowed the rest using oil leverage, with this leverage ratio set at 100:1, the trader is using 1% of their capital, this 1% is equivalent to $2683.07, if 1% is equal to $2683.07 then 100% is $268,307

• If = 50:1 - Oil Trading Leverage Ratio

Then oil trading 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's 2% margin) that is your oil margin requirement

• If = 20:1 - Oil Trading Leverage Ratio

Then the oil margin requirement = 1/20 *100= 5 %

If you have $1,000,

1,000* 20 = $20,000.

1,000 / 20,000 * 100= 5%

(Simplify - your capital is $1,000 after leverage you control $20,000 - $1,000 is what percentage of $20,000 - it's 5% margin) that is your oil trading margin requirement
