US Oil (WTI) Lot Size Calculator for FunderPro

USOIL position sizing is refreshingly simple - each point move equals $10 per lot, no complex conversions needed. The 1.5-point average daily range might seem small, but oil's volatility can spike dramatically during inventory reports, geopolitical events, or OPEC announcements, so don't let that fool you into tight stops. For stop placement, I typically use 50-100 points for swing trades, accounting for oil's tendency to whipsaw around key technical levels. The daily range means you need breathing room - 20-30 point stops often get hit by normal market noise. Worked example at 1% risk on $10,000 account: With a 50-point stop, you're risking $500 (50 points × $10 × lot size). To risk 1% ($100), you'd trade 0.2 lots. At 2% risk ($200), that's 0.4 lots. With a 100-point stop at 1% risk, you'd trade 0.1 lots. USSOIL suits FunderPro's rules well. The 3% daily loss limit gives you multiple shot attempts, and the instrument's trending nature aligns with the 10% profit target. Oil respects technical levels and often gives clean breakouts you can ride for substantial moves. The key is respecting the volatility - this isn't EUR/USD where you can get away with 20-pip stops. Oil needs room to breathe, but when it moves, it really moves, making it excellent for prop trading if you size correctly and pick your spots.
