Risk between Entry and Stop is calculated using OrderCalcProfit, allowing the tool to adapt to the current broker and symbol specifications.
XAUUSD EXAMPLE
Account Equity: 10,000 USD
Risk: 1%
Entry: 2000
Stop Loss: 1980
Calculated broker lot: 0.05 lot
Actual risk: approximately 100 USD
EURUSD EXAMPLE
Account Equity: 10,000 USD
Risk: 1%
Entry: 1.10000
Stop Loss: 1.09500
Calculated broker lot: 0.20 lot
Actual risk: approximately 100 USD
Actual results depend on your broker's symbol specifications.
RAW LOT VS BROKER LOT
The calculator displays both:
Raw Lot — theoretical position size
Broker Lot — position size normalized to the broker's allowed volume step
Lot size is rounded down, helping prevent the normalized position from exceeding the requested risk.
You can immediately see:
- Requested Risk $
- Actual Risk $
- Actual Risk %
- Difference caused by lot normalization
RISK:REWARD CALCULATOR
Add an optional Take Profit level to display:
- Potential Reward
- Risk:Reward ratio
This allows you to evaluate the planned trade before placing any order.
USE MARKET PRICE
The calculator can use:
BUY → current ASK
SELL → current BID
or a manually entered Entry Price.
RISK WARNINGS
The utility displays a warning when:
- Risk is above 2%
- A stronger warning when risk exceeds 5%
These are informational warnings only.
MULTI-SYMBOL
Gold Risk Sizer was designed with XAUUSD traders in mind but can technically calculate risk on other MT5 symbols when the broker provides valid specifications.
Examples include:
- XAUUSD
- EURUSD
- GBPUSD
- JPY pairs
