GBPJPY is one of the most volatile major crosses, making position sizing critical for survival. With an average daily range of 150 pips, this pair can easily hit wider stops that work fine on EUR/USD or GBP/USD. The key difference here is that pip value - at $9.10 per lot - sits between the majors and some exotic pairs, so your position sizes will be smaller than trading EUR/USD but larger than high-pip-value pairs. Given the 150-pip average range, I typically use 40-80 pip stops depending on the setup. Anything tighter gets stopped out by normal volatility, anything wider eats too much risk. For day trading, 40-50 pips works well; for swing positions, 60-80 pips gives the trade room to breathe. Worked example with $100k account: For 1% risk ($1000) with a 50-pip stop, you'd calculate $1000 ÷ (50 × $9.10) = 0.22 lots. For 2% risk ($2000) with the same stop, that's 0.44 lots. Notice how the position sizes are more conservative than EUR/USD due to the higher pip value. This pair suits FundedNext's structure well. The 150-pip daily range gives plenty of intraday opportunities without the extreme volatility that makes some firms nervous. However, that same volatility means you absolutely cannot wing your position sizing - a miscalculated position can blow through the 5% daily limit fast. The 10% max drawdown rule actually works in your favor here since GBPJPY trends well, so properly sized winning streaks can build account equity quickly. Just remember: this pair punishes oversizing more than most majors.
