margin questions on mt4

[learner1]

Hello all,
i am new to forex and have a basic question regarding the margin and free margin on smartlive mt4 platform, i am using the demo platform and have noticed the margin go down when i put a trade on, but it also go's up when i put a trade on same with free margin.
I thought the margin would go down along with the free margin for each trade, thanks in advance👍
