A following question is that if a trading account gives leverage 50:1 but we set the margin slider at 50 to trade, is the trading leverage more closer to the value of Quote: MarginCost(50) = Asset price(1.13795) / Leverage * PipCost(0.0871) / PIP(0.0001) => Leverage = 19.823 than 50, given by the account, if we trade EUR/USD? Thanks.
