FxPro Margin & Pip Calculator | FxPro India
FxPro provides trading calculators so you can work out margin, pip value and potential profit or loss before placing a trade.
Open FxPro Account →Margin is the capital a position ties up for as long as you keep it; swap is the cash it consumes while you keep it. At FxPro the margin you need is your position size divided by your leverage: at 1:200 that is 0.5% of the position — about $540 for a one-lot EUR/USD trade (roughly $108,000 notional) — and about $1,080 at 1:100. That figure does not grow with time, but the financing does, which is why a multi-night trade needs two calculations rather than one. FxPro's free margin, pip, profit/loss and swap calculators cover both sides: the margin and pip tools price the position, the swap tool prices the night, and the number of nights you intend to hold is what turns one into the other. Leverage and margin cut both ways — a smaller margin controls a larger position and a bigger potential loss.
Measured contract values for your calculations
Read live from FxPro’s MT5 Raw+ feed — the contract size, tick value, lot limits and average daily range behind any margin, pip-value, stop-size or profit calculation:
| Instrument | Contract size | Tick value (USD) | Min lot | Max lot | Avg daily range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 45.5 pips |
| GBP/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 53.9 pips |
| AUD/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 42.8 pips |
| USD/CAD | 100,000 | $0.72 | 0.01 | 500 | 65.6 pips |
| USD/JPY | 100,000 | $0.65 | 0.01 | 500 | 141.2 pips |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 100 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 10838.1 pips |
Tick value is the cash change per minimum price move, per standard lot; the 14-day average daily range helps you size stops and targets. Account stop-out levels (measured): margin call at 10%, stop-out at 0% — confirm the live values in your terminal.
Work out your margin
Margin = position size ÷ leverage. Approximate, for USD-quoted forex pairs (1 standard lot = 100,000 units); margin is shown in USD and varies with the live price. Your exact margin appears in your FxPro platform.

Open FxPro Account →Two questions, one box
A margin box answers whether a position fits in the account this morning. It says nothing about what that position will have consumed by the time it is closed. For a trade opened and closed in the same session those are the same question. For one meant to survive a run of rollovers they are not, and by the end the unanswered one is usually the bigger number.
The working order is: size the position, check the capital it locks (size divided by leverage, 0.5% at 1:200), then count the nights you intend to be there and price them from the measured figures on our swap rates page. Only the first of those three ever appears in the box on this page.
Money set aside and money spent
Margin is not spent. It is your own capital, held to one side while the position lives and returned in full the moment it closes; what it costs you is the use of it somewhere else. Financing is spent in the ordinary sense — it leaves night after night for as long as the trade lasts, which is why a position that has not moved a point can still be worth less than it was on the morning it opened.
The two figures answer different limits. Capital sets the largest position the account can carry. Financing sets the longest the plan can afford to wait. A trade that fits comfortably at 1:200 today can still be the wrong trade if the intention is to sit with it until next month.
Running it backwards: from nights to size
Used forwards, the tool takes a size and returns a requirement. On a multi-night plan it is at least as useful backwards. Decide what the whole hold is allowed to cost in financing, divide by the per-night figure for the instrument and the side you want, and the answer is the number of nights that budget buys at one standard lot. Halve the size and it buys roughly twice as many nights; count each Wednesday in the stretch three times over.
Every input already exists and is measured: contract size and tick value in the table above, the one-off entry on our spreads page, and the day, week and month totals on swap rates. The only figure that has to come from you is the horizon.
