What EURNZD is
Euro / New Zealand dollar
EURNZD is the euro priced in New Zealand dollars: a price of 1.7800 means one euro costs 1.7800 New Zealand dollars. It is a cross: neither side is the US dollar, so its pip value reaches dollars through an exchange rate.
When it trades
Forex trades around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening, New York time. EURNZD is busiest when London and Sydney and Tokyo are open, and most of all where two sessions overlap.
EURNZD pip value, step by step
Find the pip
A pip on EURNZD is 0.0001, the fourth decimal place. MetaTrader 5 quotes one more digit, so a point is a tenth of a pip (0.00001).
Multiply by the lot
One standard lot is 100,000 euros, so a pip is 0.0001 × 100,000 = 10 NZD per lot; 0.10 lot is a tenth of that, 0.01 lot a hundredth.
Convert to dollars
The quote currency is New Zealand dollar: multiply by its value in dollars, about 0.6100 at the example rates, for $6.10 a pip on 1.00 lot. It moves with that rate.
EURNZD: one pip and common moves, by lot size
Risking 1% of $100,000 with a 20-pip stop
One lot loses $122.00 if a stop 20 pips away is hit (20 pips × $6.10 a pip). Risking 1% of a $100,000 account, $1,000, buys $1,000 ÷ $122.00 = 8.19 lots, rounded down to the 0.01 lot step.
The $1,000 is a quarter of the $4,000 Max Daily Loss on a $100K Edge 1 Step, so four such losses in one day would reach it. Example price 1.7800: a round figure for the arithmetic, not a quote.
Commission, leverage and margin on every CFD plan
Commission is round turn: half when the trade opens, half when it closes, the same in the evaluation and once funded. Margin is the position value divided by the plan's leverage ceiling, for 1.00 lot at the example price of 1.7800 ($108,500 of EUR); the margin MetaTrader 5 shows when you place the order is the one that applies.
| Plan | Commission | Per side | Leverage | Margin, 1.00 lot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edge 1 Step | $5 per lot | $2.50 | 1:100 | $1,085 |
| Edge 2 Step | $5 per lot | $2.50 | 1:100 | $1,085 |
| Instant Pro | $5 per lot | $2.50 | 1:33 | $3,288 |
| Instant Go | $5 per lot | $2.50 | 1:25 | $4,340 |
| Prime 1 Step | $4 per lot | $2.00 | 1:50 | $2,170 |
| Prime 2 Step | $4 per lot | $2.00 | 1:100 | $1,085 |
For education. Figures are arithmetic on the contract specification and an example price; the specification, price, spread and commission on your platform decide real results. Nothing here is financial advice, and trading leveraged products can lose money.
Rules that apply when you trade EURNZD
Max. Exposure
Every open position counts at its full value against a cap set by account size: $1,250,000 on $100K. At the example price one lot of EURNZD is $108,500, so about 11.52 lots fill the whole cap with nothing else open. Going over is a warning, and resets any profit to the starting balance; a second closes the account.
The ruleNews trading
Allowed on every CFD plan. Not allowed: straddling, opening both directions (or offsetting positions on correlated instruments) within 15 minutes either side of a Red or Amber release to catch the spike. It is reviewed by the risk desk, never penalised automatically.
ECB rate decisionEurozone CPIEconomic calendarWeekend holding
With the Weekend Holding add-on, keep EURNZD open over the weekend. Without it, positions still open at 4:45 PM New York time on Friday are closed by the system: the first time is a warning, the second closes the account.
The ruleThe thin-liquidity window
At most 20% of your profit may come from trades opened and closed between 21:00:00 and 22:59:59 UTC, every night, on every instrument. While it is over, payouts on that account are paused; once profit from outside the window brings the share back inside the limit, they open again by themselves. Overnight holding is allowed; swaps count like any other cost.
