Hi all,

I need clarification.

I traded 1 (USD/JPY), 1 (USD/CAD), 2 (EUR/USD) standard contracts with an account of USD$50,000. What is my account leverage ratio ?

Hi all,

I need clarification.

I traded 1 (USD/JPY), 1 (USD/CAD), 2 (EUR/USD) standard contracts with an account of USD$50,000. What is my account leverage ratio ?

Pardon me if i am wrong.

Based on the 4 contracts traded above = 400,000.
My account: 50,000
Leverage = 400,000 / 50,000 = 8 times

Am i right that my account is 8 times in overall leverage ?
