Frequently Asked Questions

Most professional traders risk 1–2% of their account per trade. Beginners are often advised to start with 0.5–1% until they are comfortable with their strategy and emotions.

Standard lot = 100,000 units, mini lot = 10,000 units (0.1 lot), micro lot = 1,000 units (0.01 lot). Mini and micro lots allow smaller position sizes and are ideal for small accounts or precise risk control.

Yes. Our calculator supports major Forex pairs as well as XAUUSD (gold) and XAGUSD (silver). Pip value and contract sizes are adjusted automatically for these instruments.

Before You Use This Tool

ForexTradeLab tools provide educational estimates for planning, but they do not know the exact terms of your live account. Final results can change because of spread, slippage, commission, leverage, account currency and contract size at your broker. Treat the output as a starting point, then compare it with the platform specification before placing a real trade.

Use conservative inputs: small risk per trade, a defined stop loss and a realistic account balance. On a small account, a modest change in stop distance or lot size can increase risk very quickly. It is better to compare calculator output with demo trade history before relying on it in a funded account.

The tools do not provide buy or sell signals and they do not choose a broker for you. Their job is to turn a trading plan into reviewable numbers, so you can see whether the trade still makes sense before emotion or high leverage enters the decision.
