Cách tính margin trong forex

Currency pairs can change the margin required because not all trades are calculated in the same currency. Some pairs use euros, others use pounds, dollars, yen, or something else entirely. Your platform handles the conversion automatically, but it is useful to understand why the amount sometimes looks different from one pair to another.

Here is the general idea:

• Base currency – The initial margin is calculated using the base currency of the pair.
• Account currency – Your account then shows the margin in whatever currency your account is funded with.
• Exchange rate effect – If the exchange rate shifts, the converted margin value may change slightly.

For example, a trade on EUR/USD begins in euros, while a trade on GBP/JPY begins in pounds. The conversion into your account currency is what creates the slight differences you may notice.

This is one reason traders often practise first using a demo account, so they can see how margin behaves without any pressure.
