vx13 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 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. As for ping, port forward your MetaTrader terminal.
