Instrument Guide

ETHUSD position sizing requires understanding crypto's unique volatility characteristics compared to traditional forex pairs. With an 80-point average daily range, this instrument moves significantly more than major currency pairs, demanding more conservative stop loss placement and smaller position sizes relative to account equity. The 80-point daily range suggests reasonable stop losses should be 30-50 points to avoid getting whipsawed by normal market noise. Unlike forex majors where 15-20 pip stops might work, crypto needs breathing room due to its inherent volatility spikes and thin liquidity periods. Worked example for a $10,000 FunderPro account: At 1% risk ($100), with a 40-point stop loss, your maximum position is 25 lots ($100 ÷ (40 points × $0.10)). At 2% risk ($200), you could take 50 lots with the same stop. However, consider that ETHUSD can gap significantly during weekends or major news events, potentially exceeding your planned stop loss. For 2% risk with a tighter 25-point stop, you could size up to 80 lots, but this increases gap risk exposure. The key is balancing position size with FunderPro's 3% daily loss limit - a badly timed entry with maximum sizing could approach this limit quickly. ETHUSD suits prop trading well due to consistent volatility creating regular profit opportunities, but requires disciplined risk management. The instrument's tendency for sustained trends works favorably toward FunderPro's 10% profit target, though the 6% maximum drawdown can be tested during crypto's notorious correction phases. Focus on confluence setups and avoid oversizing during high-impact events when volatility can double the average daily range.
