How the gold lot calculation works
Lot size = (USD equity × risk % ÷ 100) ÷ (entry-to-stop distance × troy ounces per lot). The result is rounded down to your broker’s lot step.
Example: $1,000 equity × 1% = $10 budget. A $10 stop distance on a 100 oz contract risks $1,000 per full lot, so 0.01 lot risks $10 before costs.
All amounts assume a USD-denominated account and XAU/USD quoted in dollars per troy ounce. A 100 oz contract is a common specification, not a universal broker rule.
Exness · XAUUSD contract specificationQuestions before you calculate
How much does a $1 gold move change my P&L?
With a 100 oz contract, a $1 move is $100 per full lot, or $1 at 0.01 lot, before costs. Direction determines whether the move is a gain or loss.
Why does the calculator refuse some small positions?
If your chosen risk budget cannot support the broker minimum lot, forcing that minimum would exceed your budget. The calculator reports this instead of rounding up.
Is this a live signal or an order?
Neither. You choose all trade levels. The optional quote is a cached reference snapshot, not an executable bid or ask. This tool cannot open trades.
