5.00 mikro lot
5,000 birim · 0.05 lot = 0.5 mini = 5 mikro
1.00 mini lot
10,000 birim · 0.10 lot = 1.0 mini = 10 mikro
1.50 mini lot
15,000 birim · 0.15 lot = 1.5 mini = 15 mikro
2.50 mini lot
25,000 birim · 0.25 lot = 2.5 mini = 25 mikro
5.00 mini lot
50,000 birim · 0.50 lot = 5.0 mini = 50 mikro
7.50 mini lot
75,000 birim · 0.75 lot = 7.5 mini = 75 mikro

Frequently asked questions
How is position size calculated?+
The amount you risk (account balance × risk percentage) is divided by the currency equivalent of your stop loss distance (pips) to calculate the position size (lot). This allows you to risk the same proportion on every trade instead of using a fixed lot size.
What is the difference between standard, mini, and micro lots?+
1 standard lot is 100,000 units, 1 mini lot is 10,000 units, and 1 micro lot is 1,000 units. Using micro/mini lots on small accounts allows you to scale risk appropriately relative to account size.
How much percentage should I risk per trade?+
Most risk management approaches suggest risking 1-2% per trade. The 'Balance after X consecutive losses' line in the calculator shows how quickly higher risk ratios can deplete an account during consecutive losses.
Where do exchange rates come from?+
The calculator uses live exchange rates based on ECB reference rates and updates every few minutes. Exact prices may vary slightly depending on your broker.
