This is a Rough Estimate!
This tool is intended for rough estimates only, and cannot be used to predict margin calls with accuracy. For example,
- Rates used by this tool are delayed by five minutes.
- This calculator makes the assumption that no other trades are open in your trading account. If there are other open trades, the values returned by this calculator will not take the reduced margin into account.
- Rates used are the average between 'bid' and 'ask' prices for any given trade. This will affect the accuracy of the result.
