Exness Margin & Pip Calculator: Which Part Has an Answer — Nigeria

Which parts of a margin question are published, which belong to one account, and which nobody else can settle.

100+ instruments · Founded 2008

Three different questions hide inside how much margin does this trade need. The rule is published and identical for every reader: required margin = (lot size x contract size x price) divided by leverage. The figure that rule produces for one account is held by that account and confirmed in its own platform. Whether the trade should be placed at all has no addressee outside the person placing it. Only the first of the three can be answered by a page, and separating them is what makes the other two short.

Measured contract values for your calculations

Read live from Exness’s MT5 Raw+ feed — the contract size, tick value, lot limits and average daily range behind any margin, pip-value, stop-size or profit calculation:

Instrument	Contract size	Tick value (USD)	Min lot	Max lot	Avg daily range
EUR/USD	100,000	$1.00	0.01	200	38 pips
GBP/USD	100,000	$1.00	0.01	200	49.3 pips
AUD/USD	100,000	$1.00	0.01	200	34.4 pips
USD/CAD	100,000	$0.72	0.01	200	48.2 pips
USD/JPY	100,000	$0.62	0.01	300	70.3 pips

Tick value is the cash change per minimum price move, per standard lot; the 14-day average daily range helps you size stops and targets. Account stop-out levels (measured): margin call at 60%, stop-out at 0% — confirm the live values in your terminal.

Which part of a margin question already has an answer

The rule is published and the same for everyone: required margin = (lot size x contract size x price) divided by your leverage.
Pip value is published too — about 10 USD per pip on a standard lot of 100,000 units on most USD pairs, and about 0.10 USD on a 0.01 micro lot.
Higher leverage means a smaller margin for the same position and the same exposure if the market moves the other way; that is a rule, not a matter of opinion.
The exact figure for one account is held by that account — Exness provides a free margin, pip and swap calculator inside the Personal Area and on its website.
Whether to place the trade is the one part with no addressee: check the exact margin shown in the platform, then decide first-hand.

The published part

A formula is a rule. It does not vary by reader, by country or by day, which is why it can be written once and read forever. Everything about required margin that is a rule belongs here: the terms it uses, what each of them means, and how leverage enters it. Asking about this part returns the sentence that is already printed.

The measured table on this page belongs to the same box. Contract size, tick value, lot limits and average daily range are read from a live Exness feed and printed, so the values behind a calculation are documented rather than assumed. They are indicative and they are public: no channel holds a better copy.

The part only an account holds

Apply the rule to a specific account and it stops being general. The leverage set on that account, the instrument actually available on it, the free margin left after other positions — none of that is visible from outside, and a general channel can only restate the rule. The Personal Area and the order window of the platform are where those figures live.

That is also the practical border of any partner page. It can carry the rule and the measured specifications; it cannot carry the state of an account, and no wording of a question changes that. Recognising the border early turns a long exchange into one short sentence sent to the right place.

The part nobody else can answer

The third question is the one people most want settled: whether the trade is a good idea at this size. It is a decision. It has documented components — what the instrument is, what the specification says, what the rule returns — and those can all be answered; the remainder is judgement and stays with the person placing the order.

Separating the three shortens the whole thing. The rule is read once, the account figure is read from the account, and only the decision needs any thinking — instead of one long question mixing all three and receiving an answer to none of them. The lot size calculator draws the same border on the sizing side.

Sorting a margin question into an answerable one

Write the question and mark which of the three it is: a rule, an account figure, or a decision.
For a rule, read the formula and the measured specifications printed on this page — that part is answered already.
For an account figure, open the platform: the margin shown in the order window is the number that will actually be used.
For a decision, stop asking. Nothing outside the account holder holds an answer to it, and an opinion collected elsewhere is still the reader who has to live with it.
If a question still needs a channel, it is now one sentence about one account — the only shape that receives a specific reply.

Content here is informational and is not financial advice. Measured values are indicative and specifications can change.

Where each part of a margin answer lives

Part of the question	Kind of answer	Source
The formula for required margin	Published rule	This page and the official Exness help centre
Contract size and tick value	Measured specification	The MT5 Raw+ table above
Pip value on a standard lot	Published rule	This page — about 10 USD per pip on most USD pairs
Leverage set on one account	Account record	The Personal Area of that account
Free margin left before an order	Account record	The order window in the platform
Whether the size suits one person	Decision	No source outside the person placing the trade

Only the first three rows can be answered by anyone else, which is why a question built on them gets a reply and a question built on the last one does not.

Frequently asked questions

How is margin calculated on Exness?

Margin = (lot size x contract size x price) divided by your leverage. A 0.10 lot of EUR/USD at 1.10 needs about 110 USD at 1:100, about 22 USD at 1:500 and about 5.50 USD at 1:2000.

What is a pip worth on Exness?

On most USD pairs one pip is worth about 10 USD on a standard lot of 100,000 units and about 0.10 USD on a 0.01 micro lot.

Why does a margin question sometimes come back as a formula?

Because the formula is the part that can be answered generally. A figure applies to one account — its leverage, its instrument, its free margin — and none of that is visible from outside, so the rule is all that is left to send.

Which figure is used when an order is placed?

The one shown in the order window of the platform for that account. Anything printed on a page, measured specifications included, is indicative and meant for planning.

Where is the margin, pip and swap calculator itself?

Exness provides a free one inside the Personal Area and on its website. This page prints the rule and the measured specifications that sit behind it.

Can a partner page say whether a trade is the right size?

No. That part is a decision rather than a fact: the rule and the specifications are published here, and the remainder stays with the person placing the trade. Content is informational and is not financial advice.

What is the quickest test for which of the three a question belongs to?

Ask whether two unrelated readers would get the same answer. If they would, it is a rule. If they would not, it is either an account figure or a decision, and those two are told apart by whether a record of it exists anywhere at all.
