A Position Size Calculator determines exactly how many lots to trade based on your account size, risk tolerance, and stop loss distance. This is the foundation of proper risk management.
Instead of using random lot sizes, professional traders calculate position size for every trade to ensure consistent risk exposure, typically 1-2% of account balance per trade.
Our calculator supports standard lots (100,000 units), mini lots (10,000 units), and micro lots (1,000 units) for precise position sizing across all currency pairs.

A standard lot is 100,000 units, a mini lot is 10,000 units, and a micro lot is 1,000 units of the base currency. Smaller lots allow for more precise risk management.
