How it works
- Enter account equity and the percent you are willing to lose if the stop is hit.
- Set stop distance in pips and the pip value per standard lot (use the pip calculator if you do not know it).
- The result is lots for that risk. It is not a margin check and it does not see your broker’s stop level.
Questions
- Does this include commission or overnight financing?
- No. It sizes from equity, risk percent, stop pips and pip value. Commission and swap belong on the broker profile and the live ticket.
- What if my stop is in points, not pips?
- Convert to the pip convention this helper uses (0.0001 on most FX pairs, 0.01 on JPY). Wrong units produce a wrong lot size.
- Where else is this used?
- The same risk-calculator widget can be embedded. Catalog risk tools live on the risk hub.
