Risk translated into broker reality.

Position size is derived from the broker's tick specification—not from an assumed pip value. The same stop is translated into price distance, points, pips and ticks so the terminology becomes observable rather than confusing.

Calculation Standard

Risk budget ÷ total loss per lot.

Volume is always rounded down to the broker's permitted step.

Position & Account

Define the permitted loss.

Broker Contract Specification

Presets are educational starting points. Confirm every value in the symbol specification window of the broker platform before relying on the result.

Point

The platform's smallest quoted price increment. A 3-decimal gold quote commonly has a 0.001 point.

Tick

The minimum price movement used with the broker's monetary tick value. Tick size may differ from point size.

Pip

A market-language convention, not a universal contract rule. Its size is editable here and never used to determine monetary risk.

Price distance

The absolute difference between entry and stop. This is the neutral measurement from which all translations begin.

Educational calculation only. Tick value can vary with instrument, account currency, conversion rate and broker contract. Slippage, swaps, gaps and execution conditions can cause realized loss to exceed the model. Always verify the order ticket before submission.
