Free Margin = Balance - Used Margin

Used Margin for 1 position:
Considering USD as account currency. X/Y currency pair.
Used Margin = PositionSize / Leverage * X/USD

Example:
1:100 leverage, EUR/USD 2 standard lots, current EUR/USD rate = 1.4524.
Used Margin = 200,000 / 100 * 1.4524 = $2,904.8

Hi guys,

I dont know if I this question is suitable for this thread, but I will try. Because if I dont ask answer is still no.

So I need help with margin formula with multiple trades when Im buying/ selling, just averagng my entry level.

USDCAD
Price l volume l margin
1. buy at 1.3510 0,01 ?
2. buy at 1.3520 0,01
3. buy at 1.3530 0,02
4. buy at 1.3550 0,03
5. buy at 1.3570 0,05

Do you know how to count formula from some weighted average after this move and rising volume. I need to put in my excel.

Thank you
