The margin figure is the same whatever your style - position size divided by your leverage - and it is rarely the number that decides whether a trade is worth taking. At FxPro, 1:200 leverage means 0.5% of the position: about $540 for a one-lot EUR/USD trade (roughly $108,000 notional), or about $1,080 at 1:100. FxPro's free margin, pip, profit/loss and swap calculators work this out for you before you place a trade, on the website and inside the platforms. Which of them you reach for is a style question: a trader placing several positions a session is budgeting how many can be open at once and whether each target clears the round turn, while a trader placing one idea a month can commit the whole allowance to it and asks a completely different question of the same tool. Leverage and margin cut both ways - a smaller margin controls a larger position and a bigger potential loss.

The four tools and who reaches for which

There are four calculators here and no style uses all four with the same seriousness. A scalper lives on pip value and profit or loss, because the decision being made a dozen times a session is whether a small target is large enough to be worth the round turn it costs. The margin box is checked once and then largely ignored.

A trader placing a handful of considered positions works the other way round. The margin box is where the plan starts, because the size chosen at the beginning is the size that stays, and the pip figure only matters as a way of translating a target into money. Same page, same arithmetic, two different first clicks.

Sizing for one idea at a time, or for several at once

The question a frequent style asks of a margin figure is not whether one position fits but how many do. Several ideas running side by side means each has to be sized so the rest still have room, and the practical limit is how much of the account can be exposed at any single moment.

A style that runs one position at a time has no such constraint and a different discipline instead: the single position carries the whole plan, so the size chosen at the start is the entire risk decision. Neither is more correct - but a sizing rule copied from the other kind of trader will feel wrong for reasons the calculator never explains.

The input the calculator cannot supply

Everything above the answer box comes from the market and from your broker. One input does not: how often you intend to do this. The tool prices a position, never a habit, and yet the habit is what turns a small per-trade figure into the largest line of a year or leaves it a footnote.

So it is worth arriving with two numbers of your own - the number of positions a normal month of your trading produces and the size of move you are usually aiming at. With those, the output means something. Without them it is arithmetic. The entry side of the comparison is on our spreads and costs page.

Which calculation belongs to which style

StyleThe first question askedThe tool reached for first
Scalping, many small targetsIs this target worth the round turn?Pip value
Active intraday, several ideas at onceHow many positions can be open together?Margin, then profit/loss
Swing, a few positions a monthIs the size right for the whole plan?Margin and profit/loss
Position, one idea at a timeWhat is this worth if it works?Profit/loss, then swap

The arithmetic behind every row is the same - position size divided by leverage. What differs is the question brought to it, and that is set by the way you trade rather than by the account.

Frequently asked questions

Which calculator does my style actually need?
FxPro provides margin, pip, profit/loss and swap calculators. A style that trades inside the session leans on the pip and profit/loss figures, because its result is decided by the target set against the cost of the round turn. A style that carries positions reaches for the swap tool as well. Every style uses the margin calculator, but usually as a gate rather than as an answer.
Does the margin figure change with my style?
No. Margin is position size divided by leverage - about $540 on a one-lot EUR/USD position at 1:200 and about $1,080 at 1:100 - and the arithmetic is identical for a scalper and for a position trader. What differs is the question each of them asks around it.
How many positions should I be able to hold open at once?
That is the sizing question a frequent style really faces. If your way of trading regularly has several ideas running side by side, each one has to be small enough that the others still fit; if you trade one idea at a time, the whole allowance is available to it. The calculator prices a single position - deciding how many can coexist is yours.
What leverage should I put into the calculation?
Leverage at FxPro runs up to 1:200 depending on the instrument and account; the margin calculator uses your chosen leverage to show the required margin. Use the leverage you actually intend to trade at rather than the maximum available to you.
Is the margin number the one that decides the trade?
Rarely. Margin tells you whether the position fits in the account; it says nothing about whether the trade is worth taking. That answer comes from the size of the move you are trading for, measured against what the round turn costs you.
Where do I find the calculators, and are they free?
According to FxPro, they are available inside the FxPro trading platforms, and they are free to use.
