How to determine the lot so as not to get a margin call

The amount of lots (volume) in trading is not determined by leverage but by the amount of capital. The greater your capital the higher the trading lots you can use. The formula you can use to determine the number of lots, 

normal lots
(capital: 10: 1000)
example:
Capital $ 100: 10: 1000 = 0.01 lot so if capital You are $ 100 and you are trading normally, so you can only do 1 open position in 1 pair using 0.01 lots.  

extreme lots
(capital: 2: 1000)
example: 
your capital is $ 100 and you want to trade extreme, then you can do the following calculation $ 100: 2: 1000 = 0.05 lot.  so a capital of $ 100 if you want to trade extreme then you can open 1 transaction in 1 pair with lots 0.05.

Leverage & Margin

Leverage is the leverage or loan from a broker given to a trader, so that the trader funds have greater purchasing power, for example, if there is a $ 100 fund using 1: 100 leverage, the $ 100 has a power equivalent to $ 10,000.  If the leverage is 1: 500, then the $ 100 fund has the ability to make transactions equivalent to $ 50,000 or 500 times more than the nominal of the fund itself.  Margin is a guarantee given to a broker every time a position is opened.  The size of the margin is influenced by the leverage and the amount of trading volume (lots) opened by the trader.  The margin calculation formula is: Leverage x Volume (Lot) x Contract Size.  If we don't pay attention to margins, our trading account might get margin call. ============================= 1: 100 leverage means (1/100) x100% = 1  %  leverage 1: 200 means (1/200) x100% = 0.5%  leverage 1: 500 means (1/500) x100% = 0.2%  leverage 1: 600 means (1/600) x100% =?   leverage 1: 1000 means (1/1000) x 100% =?  =========
