About the Position Size Calculator

Use this forex position size calculator to convert your risk plan into an estimated lot size before placing a trade. Enter account balance, risk percentage, stop-loss distance and pip value, then verify the final contract specifications with your broker.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate forex position size?

Define the maximum account risk, divide that risk by the stop-loss distance, then account for the pip value of the instrument and lot size.

What risk percentage should I enter?

The calculator accepts any percentage you choose. Lower percentages generally reduce the amount of account equity exposed to a single trade.

Does position size work the same for gold and CFDs?

No. Contract size and pip or point value can differ by broker and instrument, so use the broker specification for metals, indices and CFDs.
