Position Sizing
Master fixed fractional position sizing formulas. Never choose an arbitrary lot size again.
Core Learning Objectives
- Master the mathematical position sizing formula: Lot Size = (Capital * Risk%) / (SL Pips * Pip Value).
- Understand why fixed-lot sizing causes account ruin during wide stop-loss setups.
- Implement automated position sizing across currency pairs and gold.
Lesson 23 Overview
<p>Professional risk managers never open a trade with an arbitrary lot size (like 'always trading 0.10 lots'). Instead, your <strong>lot size must be dynamically calculated</strong> so that your risk is strictly identical in dollars regardless of whether your stop-loss is 15 pips or 50 pips wide.</p>
