How the Position Size Calculator (Forex) works
Use the tools to size positions by risk, find pip value and average your entries.
Formula: Lots = Risk amount ÷ (Stop loss pips × Pip value per lot)
What to know before you calculate
Position size turns an entry price, a stop price and a risk percentage into a number of units to trade, so each trade risks the same amount of your account.
Tips for accurate results
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. These tools support risk management and are not investment advice.
Roman Urdu mein
