InterBank Margin Calcs, Any others like them ?

MT4 brokers only

Interbank STD accounts are excellent for major margin calculations.

They compute margin like this for every Micro lot in STD account like this

EURUSD is 0.01 * 1000 = $10.00

GBPUSD is 0.01 * 1000 = $10.00

USDCHF is 0.01 * 1000 = $10.00

AUDUSD is 0.01 * 1000 = $10.00

Margin is corrected for hedging. In case you've got three transactions of this EURUSD, state 2 buys and 1 market, the margin will be $20.00 ( Thats 0.01 traded) rather than $30.00.

Other brokers Velocity4x, FXDD, UGM calculate margin like this for micro lot in STD
EURUSD is 0.01 * 1000 * 1.314 = $13.14

GBPUSD is 0.01 * 1000 * 1.926 = $19.26

USDCHF is 0.01 * 1000 * 1 = $10.00

AUDUSD is 0.01 * 1000 * 0.77 = $7.70

FXDD and UGM allow margin to be corrected for hedging, Velocity4x doesn't ( ie $30 margin for three transactions as described previously ).

QUESTION: Why are the other MT4 brokers out there which calculate margin for those majors the same way Interbankfx does?

Why I ask that is that Interbankfx isn't the very best in other regions.

I only spoke with InterbankFX. . .they have confirmed this.

On a standard account in 100:1 leverage, each standard lot is $1000 for your margin demand regardless of the currency pair.

On a mini account in 200:1 leverage, each miniature lot is $50 for your margin demand regardless of the currency pair.

Meaning for pairs based in the AUD, NZD and the CHF, you are going to be paying a greater than normal margin demand, but for pairs based in the EUR and GBP, you are going to be paying less than the standard margin requirement.

If you consider it, with a mini account, you're almost getting 400:1 leverage on the GBP based pairs.

To reply to your question, DI do not know of any other broker that does this.

Where did you get this info? Are you sure this info is correct for interbank?

If you think about it, using a mini account, you're almost getting 400:1 leverage over the GBP established pairs.

To reply to your question, D, I don't know of any other broker that does this.

To reply to your question, FXCM is just another broker that does the same.

When you have a 200:1 leverage account, for any currency pairs, the margin required is simply $50 per $10K lot. Leverage of 50:1 (wherein you earn swaps), the margin is currently $200 a $10K lot.
