Exposure-based margin

How USDCAD leverage and margin bands work.

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

USD/CAD questions

Understand the pair before opening a position.

What is USDCAD (USD/CAD)?

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

What is one pip in USD/CAD?

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

How is USD/CAD leverage applied at XBTFX?

USD/CAD uses published exposure-based margin bands. The schedule is tied to total notional exposure in USDCAD, 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 USD/CAD 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.

Where can I trade USD/CAD with XBTFX?

USD/CAD is available on supported Mega1 and MetaTrader 5 accounts. Check the instrument specification inside the selected platform before trading because sessions, margin and other conditions can change.
