    Seems like I made a bit of a calculation mistake on this video! Please note that the tool works fine for USD currency pairs, but may not work properly for other markets/pairs. Please keep this in mind.

      I think it will work if you just convert the value of USD to the currency of the market you want to trade.

    0.37 lot is not 1.5% risk on a 1k acc that’s 15% risk. $3.75 x 40 pips = $150 risk

      He made a mistake. On the buy tool he put in 1k but then he divided 3750 by 10000 and got 0.375 which is 150 which would be 1.5% of 10000 6:22

    Hi Nick! Thanks for the great content like always. I have two questions: why we divided by 10000? And what about the risk % and the stop loss distance? If we for example risk 1% and change the stop loss distance by lowering the distance or make bigger is this could change the risk %? I just confuse between the risk % and the stop loss distance. Thanks

      @ahmedkwaqil1951 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I think it should be divided by 100,000. Because we know that when we enter a lot size we dealling with standard lot which is 100,000 units ( 1 micro = 1000 units , 1 mini = 10,000 , 1 standard = 100,000 ), so for example if it's 2000 units you will put in a lot size box 0.02 because we will divided it by 100,000 and it seems logically. and for your next question I think if you change your stop loss the units will change to fit exactly to your risk percentage that you are already putted, so the risk % would never go up or down than you put. { Note that I'm still beginner and I've never traded yet }

I guess, I'm missing something here..

      This calculation is difficult.. lets do it easy....for example if you have 5000 and you want to risk 1% means 50$
      so decide pips ..
      50÷20pips= 2.5$ per pips los
      .then 2.5$÷10= 0.25 is your lot size... so use this formula 😊
