Question

100 points please help. let’s say eur/usd is trading at=1.1872. So if I have a forex account worth 100$ and I use a leverage of 1:100 I have 10000$ of buying power so if buy a mini lot of eur/usd. Do I only need to pay 10k or the quote price which would be 11872$ that I need to pay?

Answer 1

With 100:1 leverage a trader can open a position 100 times greater than they could without leverage. For example, if the cost to purchase . 01 lots of EUR/USD is normally $1000 and the broker offers 100:1 leverage, then the trader must put up only $10 as margin.
