Risk amount = $10,000 × 1% = $100.00
Lot size = $100.00 ÷ (50 pips × $10/pip) = 0.20 lots
How position size is calculated
The position size formula ensures you never risk more than your chosen percentage on any single trade. Professional traders typically risk no more than 1–2% of their account per trade, so a losing streak cannot wipe out the account.
Example: a $10,000 account at 1% risk with a 50 pip stop loss on EUR/USD risks $100, giving $100 ÷ (50 × $10) = 0.20 lots.
Risk Amount = Account Balance × (Risk % / 100) Lot Size = Risk Amount ÷ (Stop Loss Pips × Pip Value)
