Thanks , I miscalculated the firsr sum , so the pip value increases relative to the deal size
I think there are set margin lvs 1:1 1:5 1:10 etc can someone pleasae clarify this as I dont really have a clue. so therefore on a 15USD deposit

5:1 = 75000.00USD (20 point stop loss times 7.50 = 150USD
which is 1% risk on 15USD

6:1 = 90000USD (20 point stop loss times 9.00 = 180USD
which is 1.2% risk on 15USD

8:1 = 120000.00USD (20 point stop loss times 12.00USD = 240.00USD which is 1.6% risk on 15USD

Have I got these figures correct , Have to jet off to work will return tonight

Thanks for any advice
