Choose the right position size calculator

Use the calculator that matches the instrument you are trading. Forex pairs use pip value, gold uses XAUUSD contract size, index CFDs such as NAS100 and US30 use broker point value, and stocks use entry price versus stop-loss price.

Why broker contract size matters

Broker contract size affects your real risk.

For gold and index CFDs, brokers may use different contract sizes, lot steps and minimum trade sizes. That means the same lot size can produce different cash risk at different brokers.

Always check your trading platform's symbol specification before placing a trade.

How position sizing works

Position sizing starts with risk.

First, decide how much of your account you are willing to risk. Then measure the distance between your entry and stop loss. The calculator uses those values to estimate the correct trade size.

Pick the calculator that matches the instrument you are trading so the formula, lot step and broker specification are aligned with the right market:

Quick examples by market

Forex

Use the forex calculator when your stop is in pips and the symbol is a currency pair such as EURUSD, GBPJPY, or USDCHF.

XAUUSD / Gold

Use the gold calculator when your broker shows spot gold as XAUUSD and you need to convert pips, contract size and lot step into a live order size.

NAS100 / US100 / USTEC

Use the NAS100 calculator when your broker quotes Nasdaq 100 as points and you need a size that matches the index contract specification.

US30 / Dow Jones

Use the US30 calculator when trading the Dow Jones CFD and you want the size aligned with the broker's point value and minimum lot.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there separate calculators for Forex, XAUUSD, NAS100 and US30?

Because each instrument uses different broker specifications. Forex is usually pip-based, gold depends on XAUUSD contract size, and index CFDs depend on point value, minimum lot and lot step.

Are the results financial advice?

No. The calculators provide a mathematical sizing estimate only. You still need to check spread, slippage, commission, margin rules and your broker's symbol specification before placing a trade.

Why can two brokers show different results for the same trade?

Brokers can use different contract sizes, point values, lot steps and minimum trade sizes. The calculator is only as accurate as the symbol details you enter.
