A $100 risk on a $10,000 account is 1% whatever you trade. What changes is how many lots that buys: a tight stop buys many, a wide stop buys few. Drag the stop and watch the two numbers move in opposite directions while the money at risk stays still.
| Stop-loss | Lot size | Per pip | If stopped out |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pips | 1.00 | $10.00 | −$100.00 |
| 20 pips | 0.50 | $5.00 | −$100.00 |
| 40 pips | 0.25 | $2.50 | −$100.00 |
| 60 pips | 0.17 | $1.67 | −$100.00 |
| 100 pips | 0.10 | $1.00 | −$100.00 |
| 150 pips | 0.07 | $0.67 | −$100.00 |
| 200 pips | 0.05 | $0.50 | −$100.00 |
The last column is the point: every row loses the same 1% if the stop is hit. That is what position sizing buys you — one decision about risk instead of a new one per trade.
With FxPro's ZAR account, your risk amount goes in as rand and stays as rand. No bank conversion on deposit: a R50,000 transfer arrives as R50,000. With a USD account funded from ZAR, your bank takes 1–3% on every transfer — R500–R1,500 lost before you place a single trade.
