1 Standard Lot means you put the bet exactly with the price level.
Example if Gold now is 800.00, it means with 1 S-Lot you put 800$ of your capital in the bet.
If Gold is now at 810.00, it means you put 810$ in the bet.
This is for the Bet Margin.
About total money requirement for opening 1 S-Lot:
The normal spread is 1$ or 100 pips down. It means you will need 100$ as preserve capital to outcome the broker spread.
So the calculation is:
For 1 S-Lot = you will need 100$ + Current Price exactly.
Example: Gold Ask is 810.00 now. That means you will need 100$ + 810$ = 910$ to LONG 1 S-Lot.
Of course you will need more than this number for risk management.
What about mini account?
Divide it into 10. It means 1 S-Lot is 10 times of 1 Mini Lot. That makes 1 M-Lot is 81$+10$=91$ for opening. Of course profit and loss is divided into 10 times smaller than Standard Lot.
