CFD Calculator for leverage change

It looks like it! I take it you’ve seen the announcement since you posted this?

@Richard.W has made some enhancements to “Calculator 2” (referred to in this topic as the “Alternative Calculator”).

I strongly recommend using Calculator 2 today; it contains the latest bug-fixes and enhancements based on our testing and investigations over the weekend and on Monday.

If you previously used Calculator 1 to work out how much cash to add, I recommend checking your figures using Calculator 2.

Looks like it yeah

@Supraman, thanks much appreciated.

I was just worried that I’d lose out if I don’t close the margins.

What would you recommend I do?

Thanks

What do you mean “need to do”? The margin increase happened yesterday.

Your margin indicator is currently close to 36%. 0.5×1403÷1942. Position(s) will close if it reaches 25%. That will happen when account value drops to half of the blocked funds. If you want to keep the position open you can add funds.

To be clear @A.Man, I don’t think you need to “add funds” to keep the position open. As @Richard.W says, your position will only close if your MARGIN STATUS drops to 25%. If the stock price rises then your MARGIN STATUS will increase and you’ll get increasingly safer.

Unfortunately, although your FREE FUNDS are showing as 0, they are really -539 (I assume they were positive yesterday?). You therefore won’t be able to add new positions or withdraw any cash at the moment.

If Trading 212 revert the stock margins to 20% then your FREE FUNDS will return to its previous level.

Don’t ask me that! I can’t even figure out what to do with my own account. :wink:

What is the single stock you hold?

If its price rises/falls then you’ll make as much profit/loss as you would before, but you’re tying up 2.5 more cash in order to achieve that profit/loss.
