Calculate the correct lot size for any trade based on your account size and risk tolerance.
Position sizing is one of the most important — and most overlooked — aspects of forex risk management. Trading too large a position relative to your account balance is the primary reason retail traders blow up their accounts. The 1–2% rule (never risk more than 1–2% of your account on a single trade) is the industry-standard starting point for disciplined risk management.
Enter your account balance, the percentage of your account you are willing to risk on this trade, your stop-loss distance in pips, and the current exchange rate. The calculator determines the maximum position size (in lots) that keeps your risk within the specified percentage of your account.
