    Most gold brokers count 1 pip as a $0.10 move. Check yours: if gold moves from 3,000.00 to 3,001.00, does your platform show 10 pips or 100?

    How this is calculated
    • Dollar risk = account size × risk %.
    • XAU/USD: 1 standard lot is 100 oz, so a $1.00 move is $100 per lot. Lots = dollar risk ÷ (stop distance × 100), rounded down to 0.01.
    • MGC: 1 contract is 10 oz. A $0.10 tick is $1.00, so a $1.00 move is $10 per contract. Contracts = dollar risk ÷ (stop distance × 10), rounded down.
    • Sizes always round down, so you never risk more than you chose.
    • Losses to halve = how many full-size losses in a row it takes to lose 50% of the account at this risk %.
