What is an ETF?

An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that holds a collection of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, and is traded on a stock exchange like an individual stock. Investors buy and sell shares of the ETF throughout the day, and the ETF’s price changes in real-time.

ETFs opportunities

ETFs combine the features of funds and equities into one instrument. Like other investment funds, they group together various assets, such as stocks or commodities. This helps the ETF track the value of its underlying market as closely as possible. For instance There are ETFs that track the FTSE 100, containing constituents of that index proportional to the FTSE’s price. Other exchange traded funds may group together companies working in certain sectors, like Lithium producers, or follow an asset like Gold.

CFD Trading Calculator

A Forex Margin Calculator is a tool that shows how much margin is required to open and maintain a trading position. Margin is essentially the amount of money a broker sets aside from your account balance to keep a trade active, based on the trade size, the leverage you use, and the currency pair being traded. By entering these details, the calculator tells you the exact margin requirement in your account currency.

For example, if you want to trade one lot of EUR/USD (100,000 units) with leverage of 1:100, the required margin is about $1,000. With leverage of 1:50, the same trade would need $2,000 margin. This helps traders immediately see how much of their balance will be tied up and whether they have sufficient free margin to open new trades. Traders use a margin calculator to plan position sizes properly, avoid margin calls, and ensure they aren’t over-leveraging their accounts. In short, it answers the question: “How much margin will my trade require, and do I have enough funds to cover it?”
