You should start from the broker's website.
The margin level is the percentage of your Equity/Margin.
HI PLODDER ,
THE AMOUNT DEPOSITED INTO YOUR TRADE ACCOUNT IS THE REFLECTIVE BALANCE . SAY YOU DEPOSIT $1000 INTO A TRADER . WHEN YOU OPEN A "BUY" POSITION , USUALLY WHEN THE MARKET PRICE
LOWERS THAN ITS PAST FOUR HOURS OR SO .THE "MARGIN " BEGINS AFTER THE MARKET PRICE MOVES ABOVE OR BELOW YOUR PURCHASE PRICE . THE "MARGIN " REQUIREMENT IS THE AMOUNT THAT THE
MARKET MOVES BELOW YOUR OWN POSITION THAT YOU BOUGHT WITH YOUR BALANCE . THE BROKER THAT YOU REGISTER WITH KEEPS A LIMIT ON IT . IT ALSO MEANS THAT IF YOUR $1000 BALANCE EXPIRE
MEANING THAT IT EXPIRES IF =$1000 IS LOST , USUALLY WHEN AFTER YOU OPEN A "BUY " POSITION AND GO AWAY FROM YOUR SCREEN FOR A FEW HOURS AND FIND THAT YOUR CASH HAS GONE !!
THE FURTHER THE MARKET PRICE LOWERS AFTER YOUR OWN "BUY" POSITION THE LESS MARGIN YOU HAVE FOR YOUR EQUITY . MEANING THAT AFTER YOUR MARGIN EXPIRES YOU HAVE TO TOP UP YOUR
ACCOUNT ONCE YOUR MARGIN REACHES ZERO . THE ART AND FUN OF WATCHING YOUR PROFITS GROW WITH FOLLOWING THE RIGHT METHOD WILL KEEP YOU ABOVE MARGIN CALL . THE POPULAR
METHOD OF BUYING LOW AND SELLING AT A HIGHER POSITION KEEPS MOST TRADERS ABOVE LOSING THEIR MARGIN .

Your EURUSD trade is only 5 pips against you and you already loosing £163.
If it moves more than 70-100 pips against (which is not unusual, its less than the average daily range of EURUSD), you will have a margin call.
You should use a lot size calculator, in order to calculate the correct size of a trade, by entering your desired stop loss level and the maximum percentage that you want to risk.
It it prudent not to risk more than 2-3% per trade, some traders risk even less than that, in order to survive the market.
(I see of course that your trades are in demo mode, but its better to learn in demo mode than to risk your own money)heres another screen shot :) anyone feel free to reply if your willing to be helpfull. thank you :)
