## How Position Size Is Calculated

**Formula:** Position Size (lots) = (Account Balance × Risk%) ÷ (Stop Loss in Pips × Pip Value per Lot)

**Example:** $10,000 account, 1% risk, 20 pip stop on EURUSD ($10/pip per lot):

Risk Amount = $10,000 × 0.01 = $100

Position Size = $100 ÷ (20 × $10) = 0.5 standard lots
**Why this matters:** Using this formula every trade keeps your risk constant regardless of trade setup. The 1% rule ensures you survive 69 consecutive losses before losing 50% of your account — giving you ample time to recover from any drawdown.
