Leverage

Is the leverage in Forex trading, where the comparison factor will be multiplied by the contract size.

Example is 1:200 with a mini contract is 10,000 margin account is used (1:200) x 10,000 = 50 units of currency traded.

For example an open position USD / JPY the margin used is $ 50. If trade with the GBP / USD then the margin is used for 50 Pounds Sterling. If converted to dollars is 50 times the rate of GBP / USD. Eg rate GBP / USD is at 1.4000 rate. Then used margin is 50 x 1.4000 = $ 70

For Standard accounts, contracts used by 100,000 Leverage is 1:100. The average opening of accounts per lot is $ 1000.
