Calculate effective gold trading leverage from total market exposure and capital committed. See the leverage multiple, capital percentage and how a gold price move translates into a percentage change on the capital base.
Exposure divided by capital.
A 1% move in the underlying exposure produces a much larger percentage change relative to a smaller capital base. This relationship is mathematical, but actual account outcomes depend on fees, margin rules and position management.
For a simple percentage-based model, leverage is approximately the inverse of the margin fraction. In real futures markets, broker and exchange rules can make the practical relationship more complicated.
Exposure divided by capital committed.
About ten times exposure relative to the capital denominator.
It increases the change relative to the capital base because the exposure is larger.
