Gold (XAU/USD) Position Size & Lot Calculator
Size XAU/USD (Gold) with the contract on this page. One standard lot is 100 troy ounces. One pip is 0.10 in the gold price.
One pip is a 0.10 move. One standard lot is 100 ounces, so one pip is $10.00. Not a broker contract and not a live quote.
Calculated Position Size
The stop distance you entered, 25, is the move that proves this idea wrong. The lot above is the size that fits that distance.
Calculations are for educational and sizing assistance only. Pip values are estimated using standard contract sizes.

Account $10,000 · risk 1% ($100.00) · stop 25 pips
Cash at risk: $10,000 × 1% = $100.00.
Loss per standard lot at that stop: 25 × $10.00 = $250.00.
Lots: $100.00 ÷ 250.00 = 0.40. That is 40 Troy ounces.
Same figure as the form above: 0.40 standard lots, 40 Troy ounces, $100.00 at risk.
