Assumptions: USD account, standard contract (100,000 units of currency, gold 100 oz), no commission or spread. Symbol specs differ between brokers; this number is an estimate and not an order confirmation. Size is always rounded down so risk never exceeds your cap.

How to use

  1. 1Enter your account balance in USD.
  2. 2Enter the share of the account you are willing to lose on this trade (typically 0.5–2%).
  3. 3Enter the entry-to-stop distance in pips (gold: 1 pip = $0.10 price move).
  4. 4Pick the symbol; for USDJPY and non-USD pairs update the price / conversion rate.
  5. 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.
