AUD/USD Lot Size Calculator for FunderPro

AUD/USD is one of the more volatile major pairs, making position sizing crucial for survival. With its 65-pip average daily range, you're dealing with real movement that can either fill your pockets or blow your account if you size incorrectly. The key difference with AUDUSD is its tendency for sustained directional moves and gaps around major economic releases from both Australia and the US. This means your stop losses need breathing room - don't go below 20 pips unless you're scalping, and 25-40 pips is more realistic for swing trades. Let's work through realistic examples. On a $100k FunderPro account risking 1% ($1000), with a 30-pip stop loss: Risk per pip = $1000 ÷ 30 = $33.33. Since each pip on a standard lot = $10, you can trade 3.33 lots. For a tighter 25-pip stop, that's $40 per pip, so 4 lots maximum. At 2% risk ($2000) with the same 30-pip stop: $2000 ÷ 30 = $66.67 per pip, allowing 6.67 lots. But here's where experience matters - AUDUSD can easily move 40-50 pips against you before reversing, so that 2% can become 3% real quick if you're undersized on stops. This pair suits FunderPro's rules well. The 65-pip average range gives plenty of profit potential to hit that 10% target, but respect the volatility. I've seen traders get cocky with position sizing on quiet Asian sessions, only to get steamrolled when London opens. The 3% daily loss limit isn't generous with this pair's volatility, so conservative sizing is your friend. Stick to 1-1.5% risk per trade until you're consistently profitable.
