Z systems - margin requirements

Z systems - margin requirements - 11/08/15 10:53

Hi all, in the page manual at the issue 'z systems' it says that margin requirements and projected results are calculated on a 1:100 account, micro lot. So, is it correct to argue that similar results can be reached with a 1200 minimum requirement account, micro lot, leverage 1:100 or 300 minimum required account and leverage 1:400? Given, obviously same values of risk and margin sliders...or also margin and risk slider should be reduced accordingly? (12,5 margin 2 risk)? Thanks a lot.

The margin calculation takes into consideration the leverage of each asset in your AssetsFix.dta file. Verify that these are correct, and then experiment with different slider values and observe any differences in performance. Obviously, the higher your leverage, the further room you have before a margin call and the less likely you are to blow up your account.

Is there an easy way to update the AssetsFix.dta with say FXCM other than manually checking each asset?

Just connect to FXCM with the Download script, and afterwards copy Assets.dta to AssetsFix.dta.

Thanks. It doesn't get any easier than that.
