FxPro Margin & Pip Calculator [Pakistan]
FxPro provides trading calculators so you can work out margin, pip value and potential profit or loss before placing a trade.
Open FxPro Account →Margin scales exactly with size, which makes it the easy half of planning a large ticket: at FxPro the margin you need is your position size divided by your leverage, so at 1:200 that is 0.5% of the position and at 1:100 it is 1%, so one EUR/USD lot - 100,000 units of the base currency - ties up 500 units of margin at 1:200 and 1,000 at 1:100, and ten lots tie up ten times either figure. FxPro's free margin, pip, profit/loss and swap calculators work this out for you before you place a trade, inside the platforms. The hard half is what a calculator cannot know: it prices the position at the figure you type in, while the order is filled at whatever the quote is when it arrives, so a large ticket wants a buffer rather than a plan sized to the last dollar. Leverage and margin cut both ways — a smaller margin controls a larger position and a bigger potential loss.
Measured contract values for your calculations
Read live from FxPro’s MT5 Raw+ feed — the contract size, tick value, lot limits and average daily range behind any margin, pip-value, stop-size or profit calculation:
| Instrument | Contract size | Tick value (USD) | Min lot | Max lot | Avg daily range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 45.5 pips |
| GBP/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 53.9 pips |
| AUD/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 42.8 pips |
| USD/CAD | 100,000 | $0.72 | 0.01 | 500 | 65.6 pips |
| USD/JPY | 100,000 | $0.65 | 0.01 | 500 | 141.2 pips |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 100 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 10838.1 pips |
Tick value is the cash change per minimum price move, per standard lot; the 14-day average daily range helps you size stops and targets. Account stop-out levels (measured): margin call at 10%, stop-out at 0% — confirm the live values in your terminal.
Work out your margin
Margin = position size ÷ leverage. Approximate, for USD-quoted forex pairs (1 standard lot = 100,000 units); margin is shown in USD and varies with the live price. Your exact margin appears in your FxPro platform.

Open FxPro Account →Margin is linear, the buffer is not
Doubling the lot count doubles the margin and nothing else about that calculation changes: at 1:200 the requirement stays 0.5% of the position, whether that is half a percent of one EUR/USD lot of notional or of ten. This is why the margin box is rarely the thing that goes wrong on a large ticket — it is exact, and the platform computes it the same way every time.
What is not linear is how much room the rest of the account has left. The cash value of an ordinary market move grows with the lot count while the balance behind it does not, so the same percentage move that was uncomfortable at one lot is decisive at ten. The buffer, not the margin, is the number that has to be re-decided every time the size goes up.
From lot count to cash before you click
Three measured inputs in the table above turn an intended size into money. The contract size gives the notional — 100,000 units per standard lot on an FX major, and a hundred ounces per lot on gold, which is why the two cannot be sized by the same habit. The tick value gives what a single price increment is worth per lot. The average daily range gives the everyday scale of movement, and multiplying it by the lot count answers the question a margin number cannot: not whether the position can be opened, but whether an ordinary day on it is something the account can sit through.
Do that calculation before the size is fixed rather than after, because it is the one that changes character with scale. Then add the round-turn cost from our spreads page and, if the position is meant to stay open past the rollover, the nightly figure from swap rates — both of them multiply by the same lot count you just chose.
The floor, the step and the ceiling
Sizing is not continuous. The measured specification table gives a 0.01-lot minimum, 0.01-lot steps and a 500-lot maximum for a single order, so an intended size always lands on the nearest step rather than exactly where the arithmetic pointed. On a small position that rounding is invisible; on a large one it is worth deciding in advance whether you round up or down, because a step of 0.01 lot is a fixed amount of extra exposure and cost each time.
The 500-lot ceiling matters for a different reason: an intended position above it becomes a sequence of orders rather than one, and a sequence has an average fill price instead of a single one. The specification row for each instrument on our trading conditions page carries its own minimum, maximum and step, so check the row rather than assuming the headline numbers apply everywhere.
Notional, margin and a 10-pip move by ticket size (EUR/USD)
| Ticket size | Notional | Margin at 1:200 | Margin at 1:100 | A 10-pip move |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.1 lot | 10,000 EUR | 50 EUR | 100 EUR | $10 |
| 1 lot | 100,000 EUR | 500 EUR | 1,000 EUR | $100 |
| 5 lots | 500,000 EUR | 2,500 EUR | 5,000 EUR | $500 |
| 10 lots | 1,000,000 EUR | 5,000 EUR | 10,000 EUR | $1,000 |
Notional is the lot count times the 100,000-unit contract size, and margin is that notional divided by the leverage, so both columns are exact and neither depends on where the price is. Your platform converts the requirement into the account currency at the live rate, which is why the cash figure moves while the percentage does not. The last column is ten pips at about $10 per pip per standard lot on a USD-quoted major.
