EUR/USD Lot Size Calculator for Funded Trading Plus

Quick Answer

Instrument Guide

EUR/USD is the most liquid forex pair, making it ideal for position sizing precision due to tight spreads and consistent pip values. The $10 per lot pip value simplifies calculations compared to cross pairs or exotic currencies. With an 80-pip average daily range, you have substantial room for stop placement without being too tight or too wide. This range suggests stops of 20-40 pips are reasonable for swing trades, while scalpers might use 5-15 pips. For position sizing, the math is straightforward: Risk Amount ÷ (Stop Loss in Pips × $10) = Position Size in Lots. On Funded Trading Plus's 4% daily limit, that's $4,000 maximum daily risk on a $100,000 account. Worked example at 1% risk ($1,000): With a 25-pip stop, you'd trade 4 lots maximum ($1,000 ÷ 25 ÷ $10 = 4 lots). At 2% risk ($2,000), that becomes 8 lots with the same stop. For a 40-pip stop at 1% risk: 2.5 lots ($1,000 ÷ 40 ÷ $10). At 2% risk: 5 lots. EUR/USD suits Funded Trading Plus perfectly. The 80-pip daily range gives you flexibility to hit the 10% profit target without excessive risk, while the liquidity ensures fills at your intended prices. The 6% max drawdown rule works well since you can size positions to lose no more than 1-2% per trade, giving you multiple attempts to reach profitability. Avoid oversizing during low-volatility periods when the daily range contracts, as this can lead to premature stop-outs.
