What LotSizely does

The calculator converts a balance, risk percentage and stop-loss distance into an estimated volume. The accompanying guides show the same mathematics with worked examples, including the difference between a pip and a point on XAUUSD.

The economic calendar groups scheduled events by day, currency and impact so traders can see when volatility may increase. It is a planning aid, not a prediction of market direction.

How calculations are checked

Every result begins with a cash-risk amount: balance multiplied by risk percentage. That amount is divided by the stop distance and the estimated value of one pip for one lot. The result is rounded down to the supported 0.01 volume step so the displayed size does not exceed the target through rounding.

Broker specifications can differ. MetaTrader 5 exposes contract size, tick size, tick value, profit currency, minimum volume and volume step in each symbol's Specification window. Our guides explain how to compare those values with LotSizely before using a result.

Gold convention used here

For XAUUSD, LotSizely treats a $0.10 gold price movement as one pip. Under the calculator's contract assumption, one pip is worth $10 at 1.00 lot, $1 at 0.10 lot and $0.10 at 0.01 lot. Therefore, a 100-pip stop risks approximately $10 at 0.01 lot.

What LotSizely does not do

LotSizely does not connect to trading accounts, execute orders, sell signals, recommend trades or promise returns. Results are estimates and do not include spread, commission, swaps, slippage or price gaps unless explicitly stated.

Corrections and support

If a calculation differs from the specification shown by your broker, send the symbol, account currency and relevant MT5 specification values through our support form. We use those reports to investigate assumptions and improve the explanations.
