Hi, I'm using V2.9 now.
I am finding a mistake in the margin calculation.
an example:
first, I buy 1 lot eurusd, the margin shows used, say, 1350$, okay so far
then, with 1st position open, I sell 1 lot eurusd, the margin shows used, still 1350$, this seems wrong to me!
now I have 1 lot buy vs 1 lot sell, ==> net exposure: 0 lot sell; so I think the margin used should be still 0$.
Do I get it right?

This is "hedged margin", it is charged when you have 2 opposite lots opened. It looks like you should not be charged in this case, but forex brokers still charge you, because you have opened positions.
Hedged margin is usually 1/2 of normal margin, and can be edited in symbol properties. In your case you have 2 lots opened, and hedged margin is 1/2 * 2 = 1 lot margin. So everything is correct.
