Our gold position size calculator determines optimal trade size by dividing your risk amount (account balance × risk %) by the price difference between entry and stop loss. This ensures you never risk more than your desired percentage on any gold trade.
Professional gold traders typically risk 1-2% per trade. Never risk more than 5% on a single gold position. Our calculator defaults to 1% risk, which is recommended for consistent, sustainable gold trading with proper risk management.
The optimal number of ounces depends on your account size, risk tolerance, and stop loss distance. Our gold position size calculator automatically determines the right amount of ounces to trade based on your risk parameters and gold entry price.
Standard lot = 100 oz, Mini lot = 10 oz, Micro lot = 1 oz. Our calculator shows your position size in both ounces and the recommended lot type, making it easy to execute your gold trades with the right position sizing.
Proper position sizing protects your capital by ensuring consistent risk per trade. It prevents overleveraging and emotional trading decisions. Our gold position size calculator helps you trade gold professionally with disciplined risk management for long-term success.
