  1. Dear Forum, I am looking for historical data of the DAX40 for MT4. I am seeking for data starting around 1997 up to today and for all timeframes. Who can help me with this data? Kind regards
  2. Thanks for the reply I do not have a limited risk account so no guaranteed stop I do use Stop loss orders though Anyway how can i have a different outcome when calculating (ie. 126 instead of 113)
  3. Hi @Caseynotes Thanks for your reply Using the formula with no stop still does not give me the correct answer as written in my question How to calculate the "total value of your trade" is one of my questions Do you know how to do this? Kind regards
  4. Dear forum members, I want to know how to calculate the required margins (when using MT4) According this site https://www.ig.com/au/learn-to-trade/margin-explained you need to do it as followed How do i calculate the total value of your trade? I bought a contract last week and i know my margin req. It was 112.03 Since i know the outcome i tried it myself but with provided info of IG i cant seems to get this outcome The contract i bought was a long option for US30 size 0.01 (MT4) the value of 1 contract is 10 so 0.01 should be .1 The opening price when i went long was 25332.3 With the formula above i would say that the total value would be 0.1 X 25332.3 = 2533.23 The margin requirement for US30 is 0.5% when calculating 2533.23 X 0.5% = 12.66615 Can someone please help me to get the figures right because even if i made a mistake with the place of the dot it would be 126 and not 112 Kind regards and thanks in advance
