Margin required for symbol

I am looking in the Offers Table and finding the the MMR value for margin is way off. I get a value of 0.01 .

The account ID is: FXD2596862001
Server: U100D2

I hope this gets fixed before Nov 22nd when each symbol could have a different margin.

I have noticed that you have changed the margin requirements for the demo accounts as per the Nov. 22nd margin requirements, sort of. were all of them are now $100 not $50. Am I right?

I'm waiting for the tech spec for a new margin requirements too. I'll provide all information as soon as I'll have it.

I think this is a bigger problem than you think. I have an account (note above) that with the MMR as .01 this multiplied by the account size 100k is $1,000 margin. I get that and that works for this account. now i have a real account and the MMR is 50.0 doing the same math on that now my margin is $500,000 for a 10K account. Of course the 50.0 is the actual margin, I see that, The question here is is there a method, or way to know how the MMR is formatted based on a system property?
