Position size
How many lots can I open so that if my stop loss is hit I only lose a set percentage of my account?
Pip size: 0.0001 · Contract size: 100,000
derived from pip size × contract
Formula: (balance × risk%) ÷ (stop loss × pip value). Each symbol's pip value is read from the symbol table and can be edited; size is always rounded down to 0.01 lot.
Assumptions: USD account, no commission or spread. Pip value differs between brokers and, for non-USD pairs, moves with price; this is an estimate, not an order confirmation.
How to use
- 1Enter your account balance in USD.
- 2Enter the share of the account you are willing to lose on this trade (typically 0.5–2%).
- 3Enter the entry-to-stop distance in pips.
- 4Pick the symbol; its pip value is filled from the symbol table.
- 5Enter the rounded size in your platform and check it against your broker's symbol specs.
This calculation is an educational estimate, not an order confirmation or investment advice. Contract specs, pip size and conversion rates vary between brokers; check against the symbol specification in your broker's platform before trading.
