			<description><![CDATA[<p>The formula for calculating the Required Margin is fixed in FSB v2.57.11.0.<br />Lets see how it works in your case:</p><p>We have:<br />Currency to trade: GBPCHF;<br />Account: 1000 EUR;<br />Lot size: 100000;<br />Leverage: 1 : 400;<br />Exchange rate EURCHF: 1.26000;<br />Current price GBPCHF: 1.65515;<br />Entry size: 3% from the account equity;</p><p>Calculations:<br />Target Margin = 3% of 1000 = 30 EUR;<br />Target Amount in EUR = Margin * Leverage = 30 * 400 = 12000 EUR;<br />Since we trade GBPCHF, we calculate the target amount in GBP:<br />Target Amount in GBP = Amount in EUR * EURCHF / GBPCHF = 12000 * 1.26000 / 1.65515 = 9135.12 GBP<br />Now we have to round that amount considering that Min Lot = 0.01 and Lot Step = 0.01;<br />So, min amount we can trade is Lot Size * Min Lot = 100000 * 0.01 = 1000GBP;<br />Rounded trade amount is 9000 GBP or 0.09 lots.<br />The Required Margin for 9000 GBP is:<br />Required Margin in GBP = Amount / Leverage = 9000 / 400 = 22.5 GBP;<br />Since our account is in EUR, we have to calculate the Required Margin in EUR:<br />Required Margin in EUR = Required Margin in GBP * GBPCHF / EURCHF = 22.5 * 1.65515 / 1.26 = 29.56 EUR</p><p>Final result:<br />Traded Amount: 9000GBP, Required Margin: 29.56 EUR</p>]]></description>
