How do I calculate my FX margin requirement? / Axi

Please note that each position is subject to minimum size and margin requirements to open a trade.

Initial Margin Required for Forex pairs = (Number of lots) x (Initial Margin Rate) x (100000) x (Current Market Price)

Initial Margin Required for CFDs= (Number of lots) x (Initial Margin Rate) x (Contract Size) x (Current Market Price).
