🧮 Example Margin Calculation: 15 Lots

If you open a 15-lot position on XAUUSD at $3,300 per ounce:

  • Position Size: 15 lots × $330,000 = $4,950,000
  • Tier 1: First $2,000,000 @ 500:1 → Margin: $4,000
  • Tier 2: Next $2,000,000 @ 200:1 → Margin: $10,000
  • Tier 3: Remaining $950,000 @ 100:1 → Margin: $9,500

Total Required Margin: $4,000 + $10,000 + $9,500 = $23,500

💡 How It Works

When you open a position on XAUUSD, the system automatically calculates the required margin based on your total position size. Larger trades receive progressively lower leverage according to the tiers above. This helps preserve capital and prevent excessive exposure during high volatility.
