Correlation between leverage and lots size...
- There isn't any. Leverage is your brokers stop loss, i.e. half your account balance.
- You place the stop where it needs to be - where the reason for the trade is no longer valid. E.g. trading a support bounce the stop goes below the support.
- Account Balance * percent/100 = RISK = OrderLots * (|OrderOpenPrice - OrderStopLoss| * DeltaPerLot + CommissionPerLot) (Note OOP-OSL includes the SPREAD, and DeltaPerLot is usually around $10/pip but it takes account of the exchange rates of the pair vs. your account currency.)
- Do NOT use TickValue by itself - DeltaPerLot
- You must normalize lots
properly and check against min and max.
- You must also check FreeMargin to avoid stop out
Hi,
I am confused and unsure my idea about correlatio between leverage and lots size.
If I have 1:100 leverage and I open 2 lot in x pair, what is the lots size when I have 1:200 leverage?
2 x 2 = 4 lots?
Sorry, maybe it is very simple however I am comfused.

If you have 1.000 $ in your account, you can trade 100.000 $ at most with 1:100.
If you have 1.000 $ in your account, you can trade 200.000 $ at most with 1:200.
Yes ... so simple.
If the base currency is not USD, then you have to calculate the amount of the base currency for the current level of the price.
Let's take EURUSD and assume that it is 1,06 now,
Again ...
If you have 1.000 $ in your account, you can trade 100.000/1,06 € at most with 1:100.
If you have 1.000 $ in your account, you can trade 200.000/1,06 € at most with 1:200.
