Lot Calculator
The lot calculator is one of the key risk management tools in trading. It helps calculate the optimal position size based on your deposit, acceptable risk level, and distance to stop-loss.
How to use
- Select a trading instrument (currency pair, crypto, CFD)
- Enter your trading account size (deposit)
- Set the acceptable risk percentage per trade (recommended 1-2%)
- Enter the distance to stop-loss in pips
- Get the recommended lot size and risk amount in account currency
Why do you need a lot calculator?
Proper position sizing is the foundation of sound money management. Without it, a trader risks losing too large a portion of the deposit on a single trade.
The calculator automatically takes into account current quotes, leverage, and contract specifications for accurate calculation.
It is recommended to risk no more than 1-2% of the deposit per trade. This allows you to withstand a series of losing trades without critical losses.
💡 Tip: Always use the lot calculator before opening a trade. This will help maintain discipline and protect your capital.
