Forex Position Size Calculator

Calculate trade risk, lot size, stop loss, and target price for forex and gold

Plan your trade with structure before you place it.

This forex position size calculator helps you determine how much to risk on each trade based on your account balance, stop loss, and risk percentage.

Instead of guessing lot size, you can calculate your position size, trade risk, stop loss distance, and target price in a structured way.

This tool works for major forex pairs and gold (XAUUSD) and is designed to support consistent, rule-based trading decisions.

How to Use This Forex Calculator

Enter your account balance and the percentage you want to risk per trade.

In simple mode, define your stop loss in pips. In advanced mode, enter your exact entry and stop loss price.

The calculator will automatically determine your position size, lot size, trade risk, and target price based on your risk-to-reward ratio.

This allows you to plan trades before execution instead of adjusting risk after entering the market.

Why this matters

Most traders focus on entries.

Consistent traders focus on risk.

Without proper position sizing:

  • one trade can damage your account
  • results become inconsistent
  • decision-making becomes emotional

Structured position sizing creates:

  • controlled risk
  • repeatable execution
  • more stable performance over time

What Is a Position Size in Forex?

Position size is the number of units or lots you trade based on your risk.

Instead of choosing a fixed lot size, professional traders adjust their position size depending on:

  • account balance
  • stop loss distance
  • risk percentage

This ensures that every trade risks a consistent amount, regardless of market conditions.
