Margin issue

[[Deleted]]

Hi all,

I am a new beginner with MT4 EA and hope to get some helps in resolving a problem. Thanks.

I was approached by my broker that my MT4 margin is calculated wrongly for those non-USD based pairs.

Eg : if buy/sell USDJPY 1 mini lot, the margin shown is 200USD (which is correct)

but when buy/sell EURCHF 1 mini lot, the margin shown is still 200USD (which should be higher, like maybe 275USD)

It puzzles me coz my EA will not do any margin calculation, and I tot such margin is taken care by the MT4 apps itself.

What my EA does is just merely calculate the lot size and performs a Ordersend() command.

Is it because of my MT4 setups? Can anyone pls kindly advice me. Appreciate that.

Thanks,

Sam

check MarketInfo("EURCHF",MODE_MARGINREQUIRED); (returns for 1 lot)

Hi qjol,

Thanks for the reply, but I still don't quite understand the purpose, can u kindly elaborate more about this. Thanks.

Currently I calculate my lot using the following code and does an Ordersend() with the calculated lot size.

lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*MaximumRisk/(StopLoss*PointValue),1);

How to use/insert this MarketInfo code.

Thanks for the helps.

Regards,

Sam
