Calculate the minimum deposit

Before you begin trading, you will need to deposit some funds into your account. You can calculate the minimum amount required by looking at our Market Information sheets or clicking on the "i" button next to each market.

To calculate your minimum deposit, select the product you wish to trade and then multiply your stake by the minimum IMR detailed in the Market Information.

For example, if you wish to trade on the FTSE Rolling with £1 per point, you would multiply £1 x 30 (minimum IMR for FTSE Rolling), your initial deposit would be £30. If you want to trade on a share, you can find details of the minimum IMR on our website in the information button located to the right of the product.

Your automatic stop loss is calculated as 80% of the funds on your account or if you have sufficient funds on your account, the system will generate a stop loss calculated at 80% of the maximum CGSL (computer generated stop loss). If your stop loss is set at the maximum CGSL level, you can move it closer in or further away by amending your stop loss (see details to follow).

In the FTSE Rolling example above therefore, your stop loss will be set at 24 points away from your opening trade. More information about stop losses follows.
