Exness Lot Size Calculator

An Exness lot size calculator turns your risk into a position size: enter your account balance, how much you are willing to risk per trade and your stop-loss in pips, and it returns the volume in lots. Sizing your position to your risk is the core of trading risk management. Pro mode sizes in your account currency, checks the margin the size needs and sets the stop from the instrument's measured average daily range; switch to Simple for a quick lots-from-risk figure.

Avg daily range (measured):
Position size
Amount at risk
Margin required
Risk % of account
Pip value
Notional
Stop vs ADR

Calculations use spreads and contract specs measured on a live Exness Standard account (2026-07-06). Figures are indicative — spreads may fluctuate and actual results will vary.

What lot size fits a $1,000 account risking 2%?

Risking 2% of a $1,000 account puts $20 at risk. With a 30-pip stop-loss on EUR/USD, where one pip per lot is worth about $10.00 at measured specs, the size is about 0.07 lots — around 7,000 units, needing about $39.99 of margin at 1:200 leverage.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the lot size depend on the stop-loss?
The stop distance sets how much one lot can lose: lots equal the risk amount divided by the stop in pips times the pip value. A tighter stop allows a larger position for the same risk; a wider stop shrinks it. Figures are indicative.
Does the method change in another deposit currency?
No — the formula is the same. Pro mode sizes directly in EUR or GBP at the measured mid rate; any other deposit currency converts at the current exchange rate, so the converted risk amount is indicative.
