Understanding the numbers

Pip Value

The monetary value of a single pip movement for your position size. It depends on the instrument, lot size, and account currency. Knowing your pip value helps you manage risk and calculate potential profit or loss per trade.

Required Margin

The amount of equity your broker requires to open and maintain a position. Higher leverage reduces the margin needed, allowing you to control larger positions with less capital. Always ensure you have sufficient free margin to avoid margin calls.

Spread Cost

The difference between the bid and ask price, expressed in pips. This is effectively the cost of opening a trade. Lower spreads mean less cost to enter a position, which is especially important for scalpers and high-frequency traders.

Swap (Overnight Fee)

The interest rate differential charged or credited for holding a position overnight. Swap rates vary by instrument and direction (long or short). Some instruments may have positive swaps on one side, meaning you earn interest for holding that position.
