Position Size Calculator
Work out the correct lot size for a gold trade based on how much you're willing to risk and where your stop-loss sits. Size the trade to the stop — never the other way round.

Gold is priced in USD; if your account isn't USD, treat results as approximate.

Distance from your entry to your stop. On gold, $1.00 = 10 pips.
Enter your details to calculate your ideal lot size.
How it works: One standard lot of XAU/USD is 100 ounces, so a $1.00 move = $100 per lot. Your lot size = risk amount ÷ (stop distance in $ × 100). We cap nothing — always sanity-check that the resulting position and margin suit your account.
Risk-to-Reward Calculator
Enter your entry, stop-loss and take-profit to see your risk-to-reward ratio and the win rate you'd need to break even. Higher reward multiples mean you can win less often and still profit.

Reading it: A ratio of 1:2 means you're risking one unit to make two. At 1:2 you only need to win about 34% of trades to break even. Many desks look for at least 1:2 on gold setups.
Profit / Loss Calculator
See exactly how much a gold trade makes or loses based on your lot size and the distance the price moves. Works for both winning and losing scenarios.
1.0 = standard (100oz), 0.1 = mini (10oz), 0.01 = micro (1oz).

Enter your trade to see the profit or loss.
How it works: Profit/Loss = (exit − entry) × 100 × lots for a long, reversed for a short. One standard lot moves $100 per $1.00 change in the gold price. Results are gross — your broker's spread, commission and swap are not included.
