How many lots fit a hypothetical trade risk budget?
Estimate an illustrative position size from equity, percent at risk and stop distance. This browser calculation does not use broker quotes or submit orders.
Calculation and limitations
Formula: Risk budget = equity × risk percentage. Theoretical lots = risk budget / (stop distance × cash value of a one-unit price move per lot).
Limitations: A theoretical lot value is not a tradable broker volume. Verify contract size, currency conversion, lot step, maximum and minimum volume.
