Margin Calculator
The Margin Calculator is an essential tool which calculates the margin you must maintain in your account as insurance for opening positions.

This is crucial in order to avoid margin calls or stop outs resulting in the closing of your positions.
Please note that Margin Calculator results are based on the specifications of the FXTM Standard account and therefore its use is applicable for this type of account only.
How it works:
With the Margin Calculator, determining the margin requirements for a trade is done in 3 simple steps:
- Choose your account currency
- Select the currency pair(s) you wish to trade
- Finally, set the position size and your margin will be automatically displayed
