Frequently Asked Questions

How is position size calculated?
Position Size (lots) = (Account Balance × Risk %) / (Stop Loss Pips × Pip Value). Pip value is standardized at $10 per lot for simplicity (adjust for JPY pairs if needed).
What if I don't enter take profit?
The tool will still calculate position size and risk amount. Take profit is optional for reward ratio and potential profit estimates.
Is this suitable for all brokers?
Yes, it uses standard lot calculations. Verify your broker's pip value and minimum lot size for exact execution.
