The required margin for opening a positions is affected by the price. When the price is going up you will need more funds to cover margin requirement and in opposite.

It is very easy.
If you are buying some currency e.g. EUR you need to pay the cost in other side of pair.
So when you buy 1 lot EURUSD you are buying 100 000 EUR for 118 000 USD. Clear?
So without any leverage margin requirement to open the position would be 118 000 USD.
Not including the spread, comissions, price movement etc...
With leverage lets say 1:100 you need just 118 000/100 = 1,180 USD to open such position.
I had some topic here where I tried to explain why low leverage is dangerous.

You will of course need more balance to cover the spread, commission and price movement

I find that the change in margin is usually very small and I don't worry about it
