Easy Scalping Lot Calculator for Forex
Updated
The calculator was created to make it easier to calculate the lot size on Forex. I planned to use it for the following pairs: AUDCAD, AUDCHF, AUDJPY, AUDUSD, EURAUD, EURCAD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, EURNZD, EURUSD, GBPCHF, GBPJPY, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, USDJPY, XAUUSD.
The indicator is a table that shows the calculation of the lot for a predetermined stop loss.
For example, you are planning a trade, have calculated a stop loss of 15 points, and by checking the table you understand approximately what lot you need to use to limit your risk.
In the settings you can change the risk and also determine the stop loss value in points.
The calculator does not take into account the spread in the calculations.
There are websites where you can accurately calculate the lot, but if you trade on small time frames this is not suitable for you.
The calculator uses the formula:
Lot size = maximum risk / stop loss (in pips) / minimum pip value x minimum trading lot.
