AUD/USD Lot Size Calculator for DNA Funded

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Instrument Guide

AUD/USD position sizing requires careful attention to its commodity-driven volatility and Asian session gaps. With an average daily range of 65 pips, this pair offers solid movement but demands respect for its occasional explosive moves during RBA announcements or commodity shocks. The 65-pip ADR means your stop losses should typically range from 20-35 pips depending on your entry timing and strategy - going tighter risks getting stopped out by normal noise, while wider stops eat into your risk management. For position sizing, start with the $10 pip value per standard lot. On a $10,000 DNA Funded account with 1% risk ($100), a 25-pip stop gives you 0.40 lots maximum. Scale this up: 2% risk ($200) allows 0.80 lots with the same stop. Always account for spreads, which widen significantly during Sydney open and can hit 2-3 pips during news. Worked example: You're risking 1.5% ($150) on a breakout trade with a 30-pip stop. Maximum position = $150 ÷ (30 pips × $10) = 0.50 lots. At 2% risk with a tighter 20-pip stop: $200 ÷ (20 × $10) = 1.00 lot exactly. AUD/USD suits DNA Funded's rules well. The 65-pip range gives you room to work within the 4% daily loss limit, and the pair's trend-following nature aligns with the 10% profit target. However, respect the Asian session gaps and avoid holding through RBA meetings unless your stop can handle 40+ pip moves. The pair's correlation with gold and iron ore means position sizing should also consider your exposure to other commodity-linked instruments.
