Frequently Asked Questions (Gold & Forex Sizing)
Google Search VerifiedHow do I calculate lot size for Gold (XAU/USD) on MT4 and MT5?
To calculate Gold lot size, divide your maximum risk amount (Balance × Risk %) by the stop loss distance in pips multiplied by $10 (the standard tick value per pip for a 100 oz contract). For example, on a $10,000 account risking 1% ($100) with a 25 pip stop loss, the lot size is 100 / (25 × 10) = 0.40 lots.
What is 1 standard lot in Forex vs Gold?
In Forex (e.g. EUR/USD), 1 standard lot equals 100,000 units of the base currency ($10 per pip). In Gold (XAU/USD), 1 standard lot equals 100 troy ounces of gold ($10 per $0.10 pip movement). Micro lots (0.01) represent 1,000 units ($0.10/pip).
Why is lot sizing crucial for passing FTMO and FundedNext?
