MexGroup：如何计算交易仓位 To you who are new to the foreign exchange market

In trading, we often talk about the issue of position control. As for the necessity of risk control, I don't think it's necessary to go into detail. However, many new traders in the foreign exchange market are still very confused about the "almost 10% position" mentioned in daily life, and even many investors who have been trading for a long time still have misunderstandings about their understanding of positions. In this article, we will focus on discussing these issues in detail.


Regarding prepayments in transactions
foreign exchangeThe most common trading method in trading is margin trading, which uses leverage to deposit corresponding margin for trading. The minimum standard for trading in the foreign exchange market is based on10Ten thousand units is a standard hand. If you use leverage for margin trading, if you open a100A trading account with double leverage means you only need to prepay1000A unit of margin can achieve a standard hand transaction. This is easy to understand. But it should be noted here that,10Ten thousand units may not necessarily be in US dollars, it could also be10This is a common misconception among many traders regarding other currencies of ten thousand.

以图1为例，我们交易的是澳元兑美元，此时的交易的汇率是以澳元为本币，故而10万个单位的保证金是10万澳元，利用100倍杠杆进行计算，你此时需要缴纳的保证金即预付款是1000澳元，因交易账户是美元账户，故按照实时汇率兑换成美元相当于是收取了668.12美元的保证金，如果以1万美元的账户来计算，若不算上点差，理论上你可以操作1USD 10000/668.12dollar=19.96标准手。

而图2中交易的是美元兑日元，此时美元是本币，所以10万单位的是美元，预付款是10USD 10000/100lever=1000美元，如果以1万美元的账户来计算，若不算上点差，理论上你可以操作10000dollar/1000dollar=10标准手。
所以，交易者需要知道，在账户资金相同，不同交易品种之间的杠杆相同的情况下，你交易不同的品种时可交易的最大手数是不同的，这点需要根据货币兑的本币与美元的实时汇率进行计算。


Regarding changes in profit and loss amounts
Taking the Australian dollar to US dollar as an example, assuming the exchange rate is0.66775Starting from the first number on the left (ignoring decimal points, including0Within)5The number of digits, for each fluctuation of a numerical value, is1Points, such as0.66775Change to0.66785To fluctuate by a point (i.e. to fluctuate)0.0001）And0.66775Change to0.66875It is a change10Points (i.e. fluctuating)0.001）And so on. Calculate based on each standard hand,1The profit and loss amount corresponding to each point is10000*0.0001=10USD.
But if the currency exchange is based on the US dollar, such as the US dollar to Canadian dollar, assuming the exchange rate is1.29422, also the first number on the left from the beginning of the number5Number of digits, for each fluctuation of a value1Points, but at this point1What is the profit and loss amount for each point10000*0.0001=10Canadian dollars, you converted the US dollars into Canadian dollars, so at this point, the gains and losses are all in Canadian dollars.

As shown in the figure3所示，美元兑加元交易时成交汇率是1.32365，之后变动到了1.32292，期间盈利了1.32365-1.32292=0.00073=7.3个点，盈利金额=10Cad *7.3Points=73加元，将盈利用实时汇率兑换成美元则=73Cad /1.32292=55.18USD.
交易者只有明白了中间的盈亏如何计算，你才能明确你每一笔交易中对应空间的盈利金额，但事实上很多交易者都不清楚，只知道看实时账户变动，多了一美元就知道赚了，少了一美元就知道亏了，但这中间对应了多少点位空间却很模糊，这说明还没有学会真正如何计算风险。

Regarding the calculation of positions
As mentioned earlier, many traders will say that they only use 10% or0.5Completion position (i.e10%or5%）But in reality, most traders are talking about margin, which is very unprofessional, such as1USD 10000100A double leverage account with 10% of the funds as margin is1000In US dollars, the corresponding trading volume is1Standard hand, withxxFor example, if the currency fluctuates by one point against the US dollar10Profit and loss in US dollars; But if it is200What about an account with double leverage? A 10% position is not enough2Is it a standard hand?, At this point, for every fluctuation20The profit and loss of the US dollar, if the transaction is profitable, everyone will be happy, but if there is a loss, then50Taking a stop loss as an example, in a single transaction,100Double leverage accounts require losses500USD, loss account5%，200An account with double leverage needs to incur losses1000USD, loss account10%。
Of course, this article does not intend to discuss with everyone how many positions are appropriate, which depends on the systems or trading expectations of different traders. There are professional operators specializing in heavy position trading and ordinary radical traders, and positions vary from person to person. What we want to say here is that the calculation of positions based on margin is not scientific. The real way is to calculate based on the profit and loss amount.
For example, every time you trade, you plan to take out1%As risk capital,1A ten thousand dollar account means100Risk funds in US dollars, and at this point, you plan to trade the Australian dollar against the US dollar and25A stop loss is a point, at which point your position should be100dollar/25spot/10USD (single point profit and loss)=0.4标准手。


总体来说，这些东西非常基础，但及其重要，每一位初入汇市的交易者都应该重点掌握。你只有了解了这里面的逻辑才能计算出真正适合自己的交易仓位，很多交易者都只知道仓位控制的重要性，但操作起来却完全凭感觉进场，更有甚者听信了市场上某些人说的诸如百分之二十以内就是安全仓的说法，殊不知按此理论胡乱进场，到头来发现实际亏损的资金远远大过承受预期。If you want to learn more information, please go toQQ：1826338528  Contact us!
