Margin Calculation - please help - page 2

If it is a joke, then it is a bad joke.
I'm not amused.🙃
For serious and reliable testing of your EAs in development I think it is better to use a (Demo) account with the broker where you intend to do real trading later on. Do not use the Metaquotes Demo Server.
I am using to test my code. There are such strange things, if it resists, it's solide 😉

Touché! That’s exactly what I’ve been using it for all along. 😅
 

Do you want another joke?

Yeahh, here is:

Same account as before - MT5 build 4885. MetaQuotes Demo Account Netting. Leverage is 1:500. Deposit currency is EUR. 

If I buy 10 lots of PLNJPY the required margin is LOWER (not higher) as expected according to the specification.

Margin is only 2.35. But according to this table ...

.. I expect 3*0.24 + 2*0.48 + 5*0.72  = 5.26 EUR


Should I laugh?
