What is the Spread?

• The Bid/ AsksSpread is the difference between the price which a bank will sell (ask) and the price in which it will buy (bid)

• The spread is measured in “pips” (percentage in point). Pips represent the 4th decimal place of a pair. If the “bid” on the EUR/USD is 1.4800 and the “ask” is 1.4803 then the spread is 3 pips.

• Trading Currency Pairs means the simultaneous buying of one pair and selling of another.
  
• Approximately 85% of all trading involves the 7 Major Currencies (US Dollars, Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pounds, Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars and Australian Dollars)

What are Margin and Leverage?

• Leverage is the use of margin to increase the potential return on an investment.
• Margin= (Contract size/ Leverage)
• Leverage also adds risk to a position because it enables a trader to hold a larger position than normal.
• For example, a trader that wants to place a trade of 100,000 units of USD/CHF and has 100:1 leverage would be required to deposit 1% of the position, 1,000 US Dollars
• To calculate the margin required to execute 4 lots of USD/JPY (400,000 USD) at 200:1 leverage in a $5000 account, simply divide the deal size by the leverage amount e.g. (40,000 / 200 = 200). $2000 margin will be required to place this trade, leaving an additional $3000 marginable balance in the trading account. The trading platform automatically calculates margin requirements and checks available funds before allowing a trader to successfully enter a new position.
