🧮 Detailed Calculation Examples
Example 1: Calculating Lot Size for Gold
Apache
Capital: $20,000
Risk Ratio: 2% = $400
Planned Stop Loss: $8 (800 pips)
Calculation:
Lot Size = Absolute Risk ÷ Stop Loss in Dollars
Lot Size = $400 ÷ $8 = 0.05 Lots
Verification:
If Gold Moves Against You by 800 Pips = Loss of $400
0.05 Lots x 800 Pips x $0.01 = $400 ✓
Example 2: Calculating Lot Size for Nasdaq
Apache
Capital: $50,000
Risk Ratio: 1.5% = $750
Planned Stop Loss: 500 Pips
Calculation:
Pip Value for Nasdaq = $1 per Lot
Lot Size = $750 ÷ (500 x $1) = 1.5 lots
Verification:
1.5 lots x 500 pips x $1 = $750 ✓
Example 3: Calculating the lot size for EUR/USD
Capital: $15,000
Risk ratio: 2% = $300
Stop loss plan: 60 pips
Calculation:
Pip value for EUR/USD = $1 per 0.0001 lot
Lot size = $300 ÷ (60 x $1) = 5 lots
Note: This size is too large; you should reduce your risk or increase your stop loss.
