I'm trying to understand how some of the math with margins goes when doing cross currency trades. I haven't found anything that goes into it, so I'm kind of at a loss.
Assuming I start in USD, and I want to trade some X:Y pair, how are the lot sizes and margin rules handled? How should I assert stop losses for such orders?
Beyond that, I am curious about how the trades execute, given that some of these pairs aren't as widely traded.
