Understanding The Leverage
USD/JPY
Leverage: 100:1
Account
balance: $ 4,000
USD/JPY
Forex contract value: $100,000 per 100,000 BCU
Here is a
quick example of what a 100:1 leverage could do on a standard Forex
account utilizing a leverage of 100:1. Assume you
buy 2 lots of currency pair USD/JPY, that is $200,000 worth of JPY (1
lot = 100,000 BCU). In order to complete the transaction, based on a
margin of 100:1 or 1%, you need to commit a margin of $2,000. If market
moves against you 100 pips that is about $1,700 in loss. A greater
leverage will give a greater purchase power however it will also expose
you to a higher risk-over-invested-capital ratio.
