FX exotics start at 1000:1 up to 1 lot and fall to 2:1 above 500 lots. Indices, energies and crypto have their own, lower tables. The page doesn’t say whether the tiers apply to each position, each symbol or the whole account; check with support before relying on 5,000:1 with several positions open.
Margin examples
M4Markets’ support centre gives the formula: lots × contract size ÷ leverage, in the instrument’s currency.
- Standard, 1 lot EUR/USD at 1000:1: 100,000 ÷ 1,000 = €100 of margin.
- Raw Spread, 1 lot EUR/USD at 500:1: 100,000 ÷ 500 = €200.
- Dynamic, 1 lot EUR/USD at 5,000:1: 100,000 ÷ 5,000 = €20.
- Standard, 1 lot gold (100 oz) at $4,000 and 500:1: 400,000 ÷ 500 = $800.
Lower margin means a smaller price move can reach the stop-out level. See leverage explained and margin level.
