Examples of forex CFD trading:

  • Example 1: Buy 1 standard lot of EUR/USD CFDs (the contract size is 100,000) to long the EUR/USD exchange rate.
Buy/long 1 standard lot of EUR/USD contract at the bid price of 1.13330
The leverage ratio set by the account is 100:1, that is, the initial margin is required to be 1% of the contract value.
Close 1 standard lot of EUR/USD contract (sell/short) at the offer price of 1.13830
1 x 100,000 x 1.13330 = US $113,330 (contract value) (the contract is valued in quoted (RHS) currency)
US $113,330 x 0.01 = US $1133.30 (initial margin). CBF sets the margin ratio as US $1,000/lot
(1.13830 - 1.13330) x 1 x 100,000 = US $500.00 profit
  • Example 2 - Sell 1 standard lot of EUR/USD CFDs (the contract size is 100,000) to short the EUR/USD exchange rate.
Sell/short 1 standard lot of EUR/USD contract at the offer price of 1.13450

Close 1 standard lot of EUR/USD contract (buy/long) at the bid price of 1.13850
1 x 100,000 x 1.13450 = US $113,450 (contract value) (the contract is valued in quoted (RHS) currency)
113,450 x 0.01 = US $1,134.50 (initial margin). CBF sets the margin ratio as US $1,000/lot
