Pip & Lot-Size Calculator
Size a trade from the amount you are prepared to lose on it, not from a gut feeling. Enter your account size, how much of it you risk on one trade, and how far your stop-loss sits — the calculator returns the lot size those numbers justify.
1 standard lot = 100,000 EUR. One pip is worth $10.00 per lot.

Trading exactly 1.00 lot against a 50-pip stop would put $500.00 at risk — 5.0% of this account.
The maths
risk = balance × risk%
pip value = contract size × pip size
lots = risk ÷ (stop pips × pip value)
