Margin formula
Margin = (Lots × Contract size × Price) / Leverage. For 1 lot EURUSD at 1.10 with 1:100 leverage, that is $1,100.
How is margin different from risk?
Margin is the collateral locked by your broker (returned when you close). Risk is the maximum loss you take if the market hits your stop-loss.
