InstaForex Company gives an opportunity to trade on Forex market using three types of account at once: Micro Forex, Mini Forex, Standard Forex. In order to make such a technology possible a non-standard 10000 lot was introduced, which makes the pip price equal $0.01 in a 0.01 lot trade, the minimum. It allows the $5,000-$10,000 trading account holders to control their risks effectively. At the same time, the 10,000 lot size makes the calculations of a pip price convenient.
Please have a look at the data below:
0.01 InstaForex lot deal = $0.01 pip price
0.1 InstaForex lot deal = $0.1 pip price
1 InstaForex lot deal = $1 pip price
10 InstaForex lot deal = $10 pip price
100 InstaForex lot deal = $100 pip price
1000 InstaForex lot deal = $1000 pip price
Easy calculations and the possibility to combine three levels of Forex trading in one trading account makes InstaForex lot an undeniable advantage of InstaForex trading conditions.
Leverage is the ratio of a margin amount to the borrowed amount: 1:100, 1:200, 1:1000. 1:100 leverage means that, to open a trade, you should have 100 times less amount than the amount of a trade. In InstaForex Company you may choose the leverage from 1:1 to 1:1000.

The minimum deposit amount is $1, and it allows you to open a trade on any instrument.
Variable spread is a common tool used by the largest international brokers. It is applied for a number of trading instruments, including EUR/GBP and EUR/CHF. Spread is the broker`s reward for a transaction, determined by the market conditions in which the company operates. Due to the increased spreads of counterparties and low volatility, spread was moved to a variable state. The information on all instruments for which a variable spread is used is available on the page of specifications.
The amount of margin is equal to the trade volume divided by the leverage. The trade volume is equal to 10000 US Dollars multiplied by the amount of lots and by the exchange rate of a base currency in a pair to the USD. The base currency is the first in a currency pair. For example, in the EUR/USD currency pair the base currency is EUR (thereafter, the exchange rate of a trade to the US Dollar is EURUSD), in USDCAD - is USD (the exchange rate of a trade to the US Dollar is equal to 1, because USD/USD = 1), in GBPJPY - the base currency is GBP (the exchange rate of a trade to the US Dollar is equal to the GBP/USD exchange rate or to the exchange rate of GBPUSD). So when the GBPUSD exchange rate equals 1.4956 in a 2 lot trade with the 1:100 leverage, the margin will be 10000 * 2 * GBPUSD/100 = 299.12 USD. In a 3.5 lots trade on USDJPY with the 1:1000 leverage, the margin is equal to 10000 * 3.5 * 1/1000 = 35 USD.
