How do I calculate margin requirements?

Margin is the amount of funds required to open and maintain a trade. The calculation depends on the instrument, position size, leverage, and account currency. Different instruments have different formulas:

Forex:
Contract size * Lot * Margin Percentage / (Account Leverage)
CFD
Contract size * Open Price * Lot * Margin Percentage
CFD-Leverage
Contract size * Lot * Open Price *Margin Percentage / (Account Leverage)

You can find the margin calculation modes in the MT4/MT5 platform by right clicking your desired instrument and selecting Specifications.
