Exposure-based margin

How GBPUSD leverage and margin bands work.

GBP/USD margin is applied incrementally by the total notional exposure in GBPUSD. Crossing a threshold does not reprice the margin already assigned to lower bands; only the additional exposure uses the next rate.

GBP/USD questions

Understand the pair before opening a position.

What is GBPUSD (GBP/USD)?

GBP/USD is the exchange rate between British Pound and US Dollar. It shows how many units of USD are required to buy one unit of GBP. A rising price indicates GBP strength relative to USD; a falling price indicates the reverse.

What is one pip in GBP/USD?

For GBP/USD, one pip is normally 0.0001. A one-pip move on one standard 100,000-unit lot represents 10 USD in USD, before spreads, commission, swaps and any account-currency conversion.

How is GBP/USD leverage applied at XBTFX?

GBP/USD uses published exposure-based margin bands. The schedule is tied to total notional exposure in GBPUSD, not the account balance. When exposure crosses a threshold, only the additional portion uses the next margin rate; lower-band exposure keeps its original rate.

Can I trade GBP/USD with Pro or Standard pricing?

Yes. Pro uses raw variable spreads with a separate commission of $2.75 per $100,000 traded on FX. Standard has no separate FX commission and includes the pricing cost in a wider spread. Availability can vary by platform, account and jurisdiction.
