This practice allows traders to increase the total value of their potential profits from their investment strategies. Suppose you only have $5,000 as an investor, and you are confident that <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/nvda" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Nvidia’s current market price</a> is about to increase two-fold in the coming months. While the projected growth of Nvidia is extremely promising, your entire investment capital will only yield another $5,000 in several months. </p> <p>However, as a trader, you can create a brokerage account and increase the contract size for your derivative agreement on Nvidia’s stock. By acquiring a futures contract, you can gain a leverage ratio anywhere from 2 to 50, depending on your initial investment amount and track record. </p> <p>This means that you will be able to purchase Nvidia stock without actually acquiring ownership of the underlying asset and sell it at a specific date. As a result, you can extract a larger amount of money from your correct predictions. </p> <p>To follow Nvidia’s example, if you acquire a 5:1 leverage ratio, your earnings will constitute $25,000 instead of $5,000. Naturally, you will have to pay an interest rate to maintain your position until execution, but this expense is generally affordable compared to owning the asset.  </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trading Beyond Your Financial Capabilities</h3> <p>As explained above, leverage allows you to multiply your profits even with limited budgetary capabilities. If you acquire leverage, your <a href="https://b2broker.com/news/10-best-day-trading-strategies-you-can-use-to-profit-from-day-trading/">trading strategies</a> will become more promising and riskier in the long run. </p> <p>Leveraged trading is not for newcomers, though, as it presents amplified risks compared to <a href="https://b2broker.com/news/what-is-crypto-spot-trading/">spot trading practices</a>. If your strategies will not pan out and you experience too many losses on your portfolio, your account will be seized by the <a href="https://b2broker.com/news/how-to-start-an-online-trading-brokerage-business-in-2024/">brokerage business</a>. </p> <p>However, for experienced traders, margin trading can catalyse their road to success. Investors can swiftly increase their trading budgets with leverage and access large trading volumes. With enough expertise, it is possible to mitigate margin trading risks, employing cross or isolated margins to either consolidate or divide risks based on your specific strategies. </p> <div class="b2broker__quotes"> <figure class="b2broker__quotes_global"> <blockquote > <p>The invention of margin trading has allowed many retail traders to accumulate significant wealth, making this trading practice one of the most popular offerings in 2024. </p> </blockquote> <figcaption><cite>Fast Fact</cite></figcaption> </figure> </div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do Brokers Calculate Notional Value?</h2> <p>Notional value plays a crucial role in leveraged trading instruments, presenting the total potential value of a position. As a quick example, suppose you are considering buying Nvidia stock today to sell it at the height of its market face value. Currently, Nvidia stock is priced roughly at $880.

Both metrics are crucial for investors or companies that employ derivative contracts or leveraged risk mitigation strategies. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notional vs Nominal Value</h3> <p>Now that we understand the notional value meaning, let’s assess the difference of nominal vs notional amounts in trading. The nominal amount of the contract is also referred as a market price of the underlying contract. The nominal or market value in our Nvidia example would be the price of a futures contract acquired by the trader.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"> <picture> <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-500x157.png.webp 500w" type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 500px)" sizes="500px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-500x157.png 500w" type="image/png" media="(max-width: 500px)" sizes="500px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-800x251.png.webp 800w" type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 800px)" sizes="800px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-800x251.png 800w" type="image/png" media="(max-width: 800px)" sizes="800px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1000x313.png.webp 1000w" type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 1000px)" sizes="1000px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1000x313.png 1000w" type="image/png" media="(max-width: 1000px)" sizes="1000px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1500x470.png.webp 1500w" type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 1500px)" sizes="1500px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1500x470.png 1500w" type="image/png" media="(max-width: 1500px)" sizes="1500px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1536x481.png.webp 1536w" type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 1536px)" sizes="1536px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1536x481.png 1536w" type="image/png" media="(max-width: 1536px)" sizes="1536px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-2048x642.png.webp 2048w" type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 2048px)" sizes="2048px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-2048x642.png 2048w" type="image/png" media="(max-width: 2048px)" sizes="2048px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-2048x642.png.webp 4928w" type="image/webp" sizes="4928px" > <source srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-2048x642.png 4928w" type="image/png" sizes="4928px" > <img class="1169853" decoding="async" loading="lazy" fetchpriority="low" src="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-800x251.png" srcset="https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-500x157.png 500w, https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-800x251.png 800w, https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1000x313.png 1000w, https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1500x470.png 1500w, https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-1536x481.png 1536w, https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-2048x642.png 2048w, https://media.b2broker.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Notional-Value-vs.-Market-Value-2048x642.png" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 500px, (max-width: 800px) 800px, (max-width: 1000px) 1000px, (max-width: 1500px) 1500px, (max-width: 1536px) 1536px, (max-width: 2048px) 2048px" alt="Notional Value vs. Market Value" title="Notional Value vs. Market Value"> </picture> </figure> <p>For example, if you wish to purchase Nvidia’s 100 shares in the future, the market value of this contract is much less than the notional amount of $88,000. Suppose the futures contract for each share equals $10. This means that the entire contract price will equal only $1,000. However, the position’s value can change depending on the stock’s performance or any underlying asset. </p> <p>On the contrary, the notional value is calculated based on the asset’s market price and not the contract agreement. Knowing both figures at all times allows you to have a firm understanding of your trading positions. </p> <p>For example, selling the acquired contract might be more profitable than carrying out the position for your own profits. To conduct this analysis, you need to know how your contract is valued compared to the potential profits acquired with the notional principal amount. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Applying Notional Value in Different Sectors</h2> <p>The notional value concept is useful in various scenarios and across different trading fields. Since leveraged trading has become popular in all major investment sectors, the notional value number has never been more prominent in the trading landscape. Let’s discuss. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">FOREX</h3> <p>The notional value in FOREX is determined by the two parties that create a derivative agreement. In FX, <a href="https://b2broker.com/news/what-does-derivatives-stand-for-and-how-does-it-work/">derivatives</a> are mostly used to exchange currencies at a specific date and with a fixed amount. The notional value, in this case, is the primary currency of exchange, as agreed upon by both parties. </p> <p>Considering the tight profit margins of the FOREX industry, the notional value is critical in FX derivatives. The popular currencies on the exchange market are very saturated, resulting in minimal profits for retail traders. So, multiplying their profits by acquiring leveraged positions is a dominant strategy if traders are willing to take on the market exposure risk. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Swaps</h3> <p>Swap contracts can be applied to a variety of asset classes across industries. However, their popularity and unique use have transformed swaps into an industry.

Moreover, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/totalreturnswap.asp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">total return swaps</a> allow parties to create an agreement where one party pays specific fees in exchange for capital gains of a pre-determined asset volume. Nominal values are crucial in both contracts, deciding the total volume and basis for the agreements and allowing parties to determine their potential income levels. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Use Notional Value in Risk Hedging</h2> <p>The notional amount definition is not only useful in maximising profits but hedging risks as well. Imagine you have asset X in your portfolio, and you just found out that it might be heading toward undervaluation soon. You can purchase a futures contract at a fixed rate to mitigate market exposure.</p> <p>The futures contract allows you to set a fixed selling price for your assets, letting you hedge your risks against asset devaluation. As a result, you will have a chance to sell the asset at a preferred price even if its notional value vs. market value has become unfavourable. </p> <p>Considering the fractional price of futures contracts, hedging your risks with this strategy is a great way to ensure your <a href="https://b2broker.com/news/different-types-of-liquidity-ratios-what-do-they-tell-us/">long-term solvency</a> as an investor or an agency. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h3> <p>Notional value is a prominent part of leveraged trading across industries and sectors, making it easy for individuals and companies to assess their market exposure and <a href="https://b2prime.com/mu/news/the-influence-of-buying-power-in-margin-trading/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">buying power</a>. So, understanding the notional value is important regardless of your role and responsibilities when you deal with margin trading or derivatives. </p> <p>This simple figure determines whether investors will be profitable or if the brokers will provide a sufficient leverage ratio to reap significant profits from derivative contracts. Notional value is also critical in assessing the continued risk exposure of your contracts, allowing you to adjust strategies if necessary. </p> <p>So, before you decide to create a new contract or take up a leveraged position, be sure to check the notional value number of your agreement and assess it carefully.</p> <div class="form"> <div class="form_left"> <p class="form_title"> Seeking answers or advice? </p> <p class="form_description"> Share your queries in the form for personalized assistance </p> </div> <div class="b2broker_form_selector "><div class="single-products-top-form"><div class="form-attributes" label-name='Your name * ' label-phone=' Phone * ' label-email='Your Email * ' label-social='' label-comments='' label-language='' label-captcha='Enter the symbols *' label-submit='Request a Callback' label-vacancy-1='' label-vacancy-2='' label-vacancy-3=''></div></div><div class="ajax_form" data-id="1025200" data-classes="b2broker-contact-form form_light"></div><div class="consent_block"><p class="consent_block_privacy">B2Broker uses the information you provide to us to notify you about updates to our products and services.
