Position Sizing for XAU/USD Telegram Signals: %Risk, 1R & Lot Steps (2025 Calculator)
One job: convert fixed % risk into the exact lot size. Start from 1R distance (SL in points) × $/point, then round to your broker’s lot step.
1) The formula (R-first)
| Step | Equation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Risk dollars | Risk$ = Account$ × (%Risk/100) | Pick 0.5%–1.0% as a baseline. |
| 1R in dollars | 1R$ = SL distance (points) × $/point | Use absolute distance between entry and SL. |
| Position units | Units = Risk$ / 1R$ | Multiply by your broker’s “base contract” if needed. |
| Lot rounding | Round to lot step | Respect min lot and tick size on your platform. |
Keep average costs (spread+slip+commission) ≤ 0.25R. See Latency & Execution.
2) Zone entries & worst-case sizing
- Worst case wins: If the signal gives a zone (e.g., 2690–2692), compute SL distance from the far edge you could be filled at.
- No improvising: Once size is set, don’t inflate lots mid-trade to “make it back.”
- Fills & spread: If spread blows out, cancel and wait for structure or reduce size. Pair this with your Economic Playbook.

3) Partials, TP tiers & SL→BE
- TP1 ≈ 1R: Scale 25–50%; move SL→BE after close beyond TP1 (per plan).
- TP2 ≈ 1.5–2R: Scale more or trail under structure (HL/LH).
- Runner: Leave 10–20% for trend days; trail conservatively.

If costs or slippage push your effective risk above plan, cut lots or wait for cleaner windows. See Latency & Execution.
