Formula: lots = risk ÷ (stop pips × pip value). Illustrative pip values — not live quotes. Educational only; Qorix automated tiers use predefined desk limits instead of manual sizing.
01

Set your risk

Pros risk 0.5–2% per trade. Never size by “feeling” — size by how much you can lose if the stop hits.

02

Define the stop

Stop distance in pips drives position size. Wider stop → smaller lot for the same risk budget.

03

Match the pair

Pip value differs on JPY pairs, gold, and crosses. Pick the pair you actually trade.

On Qorix desks

Automated tiers apply drawdown pauses — you don’t manually lot-size each trade. Use this tool to understand risk before funding from $10 USDT.
