Question 1

How do I calculate position size for XAUUSD?

Accepted Answer

For XAUUSD (Gold), position size = (account_balance x risk_percent / 100) / (stop_loss_pips x pip_value_per_lot). XAUUSD pip value per lot is $1.00 (pip_size=0.01, contract_size=100 oz). Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk, 50 pip stop = 0.02 lots.

Question 2

What is the 1% rule in position sizing?

Accepted Answer

The 1% rule means you should never risk more than 1% of your account balance on a single trade. For a $10,000 account, your maximum risk per trade is $100. This is the most widely recommended risk management rule among professional traders.

Question 3

How many pips should my stop loss be?

Accepted Answer

Stop loss in pips depends on volatility and timeframe. A common approach is using ATR (Average True Range): set stop loss at 1.5x-2x ATR from entry. For XAUUSD on H1, typical ATR is 80-120 pips, so a reasonable stop might be 100-150 pips.
