ETHUSD position sizing requires careful attention to Ethereum's volatile nature and the 80-point average daily range. Unlike forex majors, crypto moves in larger chunks, so that 80-point range represents significant profit and loss potential. Your stop losses should typically be 30-50 pips to avoid getting stopped out by normal market noise, but not so wide that you violate FundedX's 3% daily loss limit. Let's work through realistic examples. On a $10,000 account with 1% risk ($100), using a 40-pip stop loss: Risk per pip = $100 ÷ 40 pips = $2.50. With $0.1 pip value per lot, you can trade 2.5 lots. Scale up to 2% risk ($200) with the same stop, and you're looking at 5 lots maximum. The key difference with ETHUSD is timing your entries around Ethereum's fundamental events and network upgrades, which can cause moves well beyond the average range. Unlike stock indices where you might use tight 15-20 pip stops, ETHUSD demands breathing room. A 25-pip stop is usually too tight and will get hit by regular volatility. This instrument suits prop trading well at FundedX because the 5% profit target aligns with Ethereum's capacity for strong directional moves. However, the 3% daily loss limit means you can't be cavalier with position sizes. The 80-point average range means a bad entry with 2-3 lots can quickly approach your daily limit if you don't have proper stops in place. Focus on confluence zones and give your trades room to work, but always calculate your maximum position size before entering.
