0.10-lot worked example
At a hypothetical BTCUSD price of USD 100,000, 0.10 lot gives a nominal exposure of USD 10,000. Normal fixed margin is 10,000 × 0.25% = USD 25; under HMR it is 10,000 × 0.5% = USD 50. A USD 1,500 adverse price move produces about USD 150 price loss before costs. This shows why margin is not the maximum loss.
Commission by account
| Account | BTCUSD commission per lot per side | 0.10-lot round turn |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / Standard Cent / Pro | No separate trading commission | USD 0 plus spread |
| Raw Spread | USD 2 | USD 0.40 plus spread |
| Zero | USD 4.375 | USD 0.875 plus spread |
BTCUSD versus BTCUSDc
BTCUSDc is available only on MT5 Standard Cent. Its contract is 0.01 BTC per lot, so the same displayed lot number has 1/100 of the BTC exposure of standard BTCUSD. Never copy a volume between the two symbols without checking the contract size.
