symbol retail leverage

[paul selvan]

Hello ,

I'm using [broker name redacted] mt5 plateform

if account leverage is given by  instruction :

AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LEVERAGE)

But each symbol has sometimes different retail leverage value.

e.g. 

My plateform leverage is 30

But CFD Gold retail leverage is 5

And CFD Tesla retail leverage is 20

Which mql5 instructions are suitable to get "Symbol Retail Leverage"

Regards

Account leverage is combined with margin rate from the specific symbol to calculate your margin requirement.

You can find the formulas here.

Thank you for your reply

But there are many "margin" properties : SYMBOL_MARGIN_INITIAL, SYMBOL_MARGIN_HEDGED, SYMBOL_MARGIN_LIMIT, SYMBOL_MARGIN_LONG, SYMBOL_MARGIN_MAINTENANCE, SYMBOL_MARGIN_SHORT,...

Which one gives "margin rate"

It depends on the type of symbol. Have a look at the symbol's contract specifications to see its calculation mode. Also, to read the margin rates, you can use the following function:

• Documentation on MQL5: Market Info / SymbolInfoMarginRate

However, the best and most reliable way to calculate the exact margin requirements for an order, irrespective of the type of calculation mode, is to use the following function ...
