Simple equation:

 

Lots = Profit/Pips (by 5 decimal places)

 

So...

Lots = 5/200

Your lot size is 0.025

 

But I feel that is too large for a $100 account...

Another equation:

Lots = (Capital*risk)/stoploss

 

Let's say you're risking 2% with an SL of 20pips (200 by a 5-digit broker)

Lots = (100*0.02)/200

Lots = 0.01

 

Now maybe you're using a greater risk threshold like 5% at 20pip SL or a tighter SL like 8pips at 2% risk so 0.025 lots may be viable depending on you.

But these two equations are basic cornerstones for Money Management.
