Hello Deriv Community,
Note that for the margin calculator, the following formula is applied:
(volume) x (contract size) x (asset price) / effective leverage
To find out the effective leverage value of each symbol/index, you must calculate: account leverage / initial margin rate. You can refer to the “Max effective leverage” column in our Trading specifications table, where you can also find more information: Online trading with Deriv | Simple. Flexible. Reliable.
The following values can also be found in the specifications on your MT5 account, by right-clicking on a symbol and then selecting “Specification”: volume, contract size, and initial margin rate.
For more information on how to use Margin Calculator, you can refer to this article.
