Margin cuttoff is only used so that the entire account is not lost. If Account Balance drops below Margin Cutoff no trades wil be placed. It really does not matter what size you put. If you put 100 it means if account balance drops below 100 no trades will be placed. If you put 0 the ea will continue to place trades until the account has no money left.

If MoneyManagement it true the Lot size does not matter. It is only used when Money Management is false. When money management is true the lot size is set using the TradeSizePercent value entered. That uses a percentage of account balance.
