FAQ

Common questions

How is margin calculated on bitcoin?

Margin is the deposit your broker locks to hold a bitcoin position — a fraction of the full notional value set by leverage. The formula is: Margin = (lots × 1 × price) ÷ leverage.

What lot size should a beginner use on bitcoin?

Start small — 0.01 or 0.10 lots. On bitcoin, 1 standard lot is 1 BTC, so a modest price move is large in money. Let a fixed risk, not your margin, decide the lot.

Can I see the result in local currency?

Yes — switch the account toggle to INR (or your currency) and set the conversion rate; the calculator converts every figure.

Is this the exact figure my broker will use?

It's an accurate estimate on standard contract specs. Confirm live spreads, swaps and your account's exact leverage inside the platform before trading.
