In the foreign exchange market, a standard lot is 654.38+ million currency units, for example, 654.38+0 standard lot of US dollars against Japanese yen. If there is no leverage operation, it needs to actually pay $654.38 million. However, foreign exchange operation is a currency pair operation. The so-called currency pair is to buy one currency and sell another. These two steps are carried out together. For example, buying a currency pair of dollars and yen means buying dollars and selling yen. This process is carried out together. Therefore, there is actually no need to prepare more than $65.438 billion for this operation. In fact, this operation can be completed as long as a certain margin is paid. The amount of deposit paid depends on the size of the leverage: if the leverage of 100 times is used, the deposit paid is 100 divided by 100, which is equal to 1000 USD, and the leverage of 200 times is 100 USD divided by 200 USD.
