SimulationA calculation on the figures you entered. Prices and rates here are typed by you; none of them is market data. Educational information, not investment advice or a recommendation to trade.
In plain language
GIO4X publishes a margin call level of 100% and a stop-out level of 30% for its account types. The simulator starts from those two figures, and lets you change them.
The prices are the ones you type. This page holds no market data, and where a conversion rate is needed it asks you for one.
The loss is the size of the position multiplied by how far the price has gone against it. Leverage is not in that sum. Move the price and the profit or loss reads the same in all three columns.
Margin is the position’s value divided by the leverage. At higher leverage the same position sets aside less of the deposit, so the same deposit can open a larger one. A larger position loses more for the same move. That is where the danger of leverage lies.
For one fixed position, higher leverage puts the stop-out further away, because less margin is in use. But a position sized to use the same share of the deposit is larger at higher leverage, and its stop-out is then much nearer. Change the size in the tool to see both.
By the time the margin level has fallen to the stop-out level, most of the deposit is gone: the columns show the loss by then and the equity left. In a gap or a fast market the positions are closed at the prices then available, and the loss can be larger than the figure here.
A calculation for study, on figures you enter. It is not advice or a recommendation, and it is not a statement of how any account will be treated: the terms of an account are in its own documents.
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
