[image] [CFD] Upcoming Increase in Margin Requirements - postponed for 01.12.2020 fr = ((2.5 * bf ) / ((1 / ( tm / 100)) - 1)) - av Just taking a look at this now with some figures: bf = 100 tm = 80 av = 200 fr = ((2.5 * bf) / ((1 / (tm / 100)) - 1)) - av fr = 800 Seems a bit high. I wi…

I’m out walking just now, but both those calculations seem correct. I think that’s how I did it on the spreadsheet I knocked up yesterday. By the way, the first one can just be expressed as 1.5 * BLOCKED FUNDS!

[image] Supraman: 1.5 x BLOCKED FUNDS! True! That’s much neater with 1.5 x BLOCKED FUNDS. Great. I uploaded the new version with these elements in now. I’ll tidy up the appearance a bit. Enjoy the walk.

By the way, which of the two formula are you using if BLOCKED FUNDS = ACCOUNT VALUE? They should both yield 50%, so it doesn’t matter, but I want to make sure it hasn’t fallen through the gap! This might be a bit of overkill… Now that you’ve written some code to calculate the margin percentage, yo…

I’m not sure what sort of tolerance to set. You could just show both figures, plus a difference, and put a label that prompts the user to compare the two values.

I’m gold-plating now… Could you add FREE FUNDS underneath ACCOUNT VALUE and BLOCKED FUNDS and calculate it by subtracting the latter from the former? Then put a label next to it that says “If this doesn’t match the FREE FUNDS figure shown by Trading 212, please check your figures”. With the defau…
