How it works

  1. Enter account equity and the percent you are willing to lose if the stop is hit.
  2. Set stop distance in pips and the pip value per standard lot (use the pip calculator if you do not know it).
  3. 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.
