Risk % to Lot size
Risk % Per Trade = Percentage of account size to risk on each trade. This is calculated from Stop loss, so don't forget to set the Stop Loss for each order! Otherwise, sending order will fail. For example, if your account size is $1000, you want to risk 1% per trade and the EA is going to open a trade on US30 with a Stop Loss of 50 pips (5000), the lot size is calculated as follows:
If the leverage is 1:100, and the pip value is $10 for one standard lot;
The maximum risk is 1% of $1000 = $10*leverage (100) = 10000$;
The maximum loss of 50 pips is equal to $50000 per one lot. We will open $10000 / $50000 = 0.2 lots.
