Frequently asked questions

What lot size should I trade on gold?

It depends on your account size, your risk tolerance and your stop-loss distance. A common rule is to risk 1–2% of your account per trade. This calculator turns that rule into an exact lot size.

How much should I risk per trade?

Most professional traders risk 1–2% of their account on any single trade. Risking more can wipe out your account after just a few losing trades.

How is position size calculated for gold?

Risk amount = balance × risk %. Lot size = risk amount ÷ (stop-loss in pips × $10), because 1 pip on gold is worth about $10 per standard lot.
