How To Calculate Your Own Take Profit, Stop Loss, And Lot Size | Forex Trader Tips

[@dwightwellings]

Thank you for a thoroughly explained video. From my experience in investing, having made more than 6 figures net profit over the past few of years, I'd say having an expert handle your financial investments is the best way to earn passively and can also go a long way in helping you gain confidence to trade yourself. Not everyone is built for the ups and downs themselves, especially when starting out newly.

[@non_conformist_]

You are entirely correct. For the majority of people getting started, trading CAN be frustrating. There's more than one good way to approach it.

[@albert-sinclair.m]

I've just turned 23 and I'm new to investing, and I've lost a good sum trying out strategies I found in online tutorials. I would sincerely appreciate any recommendations you have.

[@dwightwellings]

@@non_conformist_ i agree with you, especially on that last part.

[@dwightwellings]

@@albert-sinclair.m Although I have a full grasp of just how and when to trade, I still leave the major pool of my investments in the hands Callum Garfield. I rely on his years of successful trading to keep me earning passively. I'm sure he can get you started as well. He does charge for his services, it'll help to have that in mind.

Does make difference if I don't drag my visualised order (trade "rectangle ( take pr /stop loss ) , if I don't put it to touch the candle and if drag and leave it in some distance from the candle to the right direction , as I moving it or IF I make it wider ?

[@elagojetta]

How am I going to count all that if the chart 📊 is just going?

[@omegahelper1459]

Thank you for the help

[@mellomations449]

So s.l and t.l is base on a set pip amount you have. For your trading plan . It's base more around piece action or the market structure. And then you calculate how much you should risk base of capital and pip amount to get your lot size.

[@Shaquanlopez]

And yes, my SL and Tp is based on price movement. Then I use a risk percentage to get my lot size.

[@akenalaluku7007]

What you have not explained is about the end of the graph on the chart. This is what most of us see when we open our charts on our accounts. It is not clear to a trader what you want to explain here. You should go from the right of the chart to the left. Because we want to see how your predictions will cause the graph to move in the direction of your trades you have placed.

[@lijurajan9215]

Why the stop loss is above entry price and take profit is below it. Hows that work.

[@brandonpotter3629]

im having a problem try to calculate potential profits i also use oanda on trading view and i have linked them when i open the trade dock the order info section says margin used, leverage, pip value and trade value. now i know how to calculate pips with ruler, date and price range and short and long position tools. i also know how to deduct the spread. the problem is when i see the tool say the pip count a multiply it with the pip value that automatocally changes when i adjust the number of units. for example margin used is 11,240 leverage says 9:1 pip value says 5.50 cad and trade value says 11,240 and spread is sell 2.0 buy. so when i go up 10 pips i should make 55.00 - spread 2.0 x 5.5 =11 so take that away from total is 44.00 but no it is not on oanda it is smaller what am i doing wrong

If I sold at 4.5767 and I want to risk 60 pips, what will my stop loss be?

How can you see how many pips are being hit often?? Thank you

[@7GFEC]

Will it work with Stocks? Where I don't need to know the lot size? What if I wanted to buy one contract?

[@Shaquanlopez]

Hi! You can use the same tool, but stocks are contracts so you'd need to adjust the terminology and knowledge of how many contracts you'd like to buy or sell. It will still show you how much you'd be risking and profiting.

[@mimikayproductions878]

What website can I use to calculate the stop lost to input the value of my stop lost from my chat

[@paulagustin925]

if I adjust my stop loss, I still lose 20$?

[@JJhotdawg]

What if I’m on a 1:500 leverage account vs a 1:100 leverage would anything change?

[@Shaquanlopez]

Yes! There is a difference of 1:400 leverage you've borrowed. Your buying power decreases.

[@KKkarzan]

Godd But why in metatrader this is not working for example i will risk 30$ My stop loss is:2 pips Lot size is:15 My loss cross than 30$ for example my loss 45$ why ??

[@Shaquanlopez]

Did you take into account the spread? When you trade larger lot sizes, you are charged a higher amount in the spread.

[@KKkarzan]

@@Shaquanlopez 30/2=15 15/30=0.5 lot size This is correct? I try it my loss only 30$ this work for me Is this correct?

[@nedlar6241]

Sorry if I'm missing something. I think I understood everything you said, but my question is how do you calculate the position size?? If we want to risk 2% of the account, which is £20, but the stop loss is only 0.53% from the entry point, then surely I would need to be entering with a position size of 4x the account, for the 0.5% movement to equate to 2% of the account?

[@Shaquanlopez]

Hi. Don't overthink the percentage. Let's say your account balance is $1000. If you risk 2% you risk $20. No matter what your stop-loss is you cannot lose $20. Your lot size is determined by the stop loss and $20. So let's say your stop-loss is 20 pips. $20/20 pips= $1(0.10) lot size. It's only simple math. I pray this helps.

[@nedlar6241]

@@Shaquanlopez Thanks for your help. And whats the difference between the lot size and the position size though?

[@Memannti]

@@Shaquanlopez so the simple formula is the amount you are risking in currency divided by your stop loss in pips right?

Once price touches the rate you entered the broker will automatically trigger you into the trade.

[@jnanakshatriya668]

thank you. Do you calculate this for nas100,us30 or crypto on mt4 ? I'm always confused with stop loss pips. So cannot just take the trade and decide stop loss later because we need to know the pips to calculate position size ? Also we are taking x% risk but we are risking only the stop loss right ?

[@Shaquanlopez]

Hi. I calculate all of my trades using this tool or my spreadsheet. You are risking x% of your balance and the stop loss calculates your lot size.
