Account and trades
The leverage
$50,000.00 of open trades on $10,000.00 is 5× leverage: a 2.00% move against you takes 10% of the account.
- A 1% move
- $500.00, or 5.00% of the account. A 0.20% move costs 1% of it.
- Half and all of it
- A 10.00% move against you takes half the account, 20.00% takes all of it, before any stop-out.
A move against the open trades, and what it takes from the account.
| Move against you | Loss | Of the account |
|---|---|---|
| 0.25% | -$125.00 | -1.25% |
| 0.5% | -$250.00 | -2.50% |
| 1% | -$500.00 | -5.00% |
| 2% | -$1,000.00 | -10.00% |
| 5% | -$2,500.00 | -25.00% |
| 10% | -$5,000.00 | -50.00% |
Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it. Risk warning
Educational only, not financial advice; trading involves risk.
The leverage the broker offers is not the leverage you use
An account set to 1:500 can still be trading at 2×, or at 50×. What matters is how much the open trades control against the money in the account. With 10,000 in the account and 50,000 of trades, the leverage is 5×: a 2% move against them costs 10% of the account, and a 20% move empties it. The higher the number, the smaller the move that does real damage.
To see the margin and the stop-out level, use the margin and stop-out calculator; to check whether several trades are one bet, the correlated risk check.
Not advice. Arithmetic on the numbers you type; trades that partly offset each other carry less risk than their sum.
