Real Example
Scenario:
- •Account Balance: $10,000 (USD)
- •Risk Percentage: 2%
- •Leverage: 1:100
- •Stop Loss: 50 pips
- •Take Profit: 100 pips
- •Currency Pair: EUR/USD @ 1.0850
Calculation:
- 1.Risk Amount = $10,000 × 2% = $200
- 2.Pip Value = $10 (EUR/USD standard)
- 3.Lot Size = $200 ÷ (50 × $10) = 0.4 lots
- 4.Margin = (0.4 × 100,000 × 1.0850) ÷ 100 = $434
- 5.Potential Profit = 0.4 × 100 × $10 = $400
💡 Key Insight:
Correct position sizing ensures: Fixed risk at $200 (2%), 1:2 risk/reward ratio, margin usage only $434 (4.34%), allowing multiple positions without margin call.
