FxPro Margin & Pip Calculator (United Arab Emirates)
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 at FxPro is position size divided by leverage — at 1:200 that is 0.5% of the position, at 1:100 it is 1% — and the answer comes out in the account currency. Funding from a dirham account makes that unusually easy to plan around, because the dirham is held at a fixed rate against the dollar: the dollar margin the calculator returns matches a local amount that will still be the right one when the transfer lands. FxPro's margin, pip, profit and loss and swap calculators run inside the platforms, and the contract sizes and lot limits behind them are in the measured table below. Decide the position size first, read the margin, then size the transfer around it — and remember leverage cuts both ways, since a smaller margin controls a larger position and a larger 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 | 56 pips |
| AUD/USD | 100,000 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 42 pips |
| USD/CAD | 100,000 | $0.73 | 0.01 | 500 | 55.2 pips |
| USD/JPY | 100,000 | $0.63 | 0.01 | 500 | 112.1 pips |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 100 | $1.00 | 0.01 | 500 | 10282.4 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 →Sizing the transfer, not just the trade
A margin figure answers half the funding question. The other half is how much to send from the local account so that the position, the buffer behind it and the bank's own charge all fit. Here that second half is arithmetic rather than forecasting: the dirham is held at a fixed rate against the dollar, so the amount that leaves and the amount that arrives keep a constant relationship, minus whatever the sending institution takes.
FxPro asks for a minimum first deposit of $100 and states that it covers transfer fees on its side; a bank or card issuer may still apply one of its own. That fee, and not the exchange rate, is the number worth establishing before the first transfer — it is the only link in this particular funding chain that differs from one sender to the next.
What the calculator locks, and what it leaves out
Required margin is the deposit held against an open position: position value divided by leverage, which is 0.5% at 1:200 and 1% at 1:100. It is neither the cost of the trade nor the amount at risk. The spread comes out on entry, the Raw+ commission of $3.50 per lot per side comes out separately, and a position left past the rollover adds swap on top — the overnight side is on our swap rates page.
The measured contract table above carries what the formula actually needs: contract size, lot limits, the cash value of one tick and the average daily range for sizing a stop. Those are read live from the specification rather than typed in by hand, so take them from the table rather than from memory — they are instrument properties, and they change when you change instrument.
A funding plan that survives the month
Most of a funding plan does not expire, which is the argument for writing it down once. Leverage and the margin percentage are account terms. The contract size and lot step are specification. The rate between the local currency and the account currency is an arrangement that has held for decades. The one input that genuinely goes stale is the price the position would be opened at, which is precisely why the calculator asks for it every time.
So re-run the sum when the instrument changes, not when the month does. Moving from a major pair to gold changes the contract size and the value of a point, and the specification behind both is on our trading conditions page. Moving from one funding month to the next, from here, changes nothing on the currency side of the plan.
