Margin requirement changes day to day and can change intraday. I'm working on building a strategy that has to manage modify my lot intra-strategy. for example, if i enter at 930 am with 10k lot, and for whatever reason later in the day, i want to sell/buy additional lots based on the value of my account, how can i calculate the max amount of lot i can purchase?
ex: let's say margin requirement for a 10k lot is 250, at 930 i purchase 10k lot, and 10 am i have 300$ in profit, then, id like to purchase additional 10k lot. problem is, at 10 am the margin requirement per 10k lot could be 400, in that case, i would not purchase the 10k lot. so how can i get live data in NT for the margin requirement on currency pairs?
Also how is the pip value calculated? Instrument manager says pip value for eur/usd is 100,000!
thanks
