Worked Example: $50 Risk on AUD/USD
Say your account is $5,000 and you risk 1% per trade — that's $50 maximum loss per trade. Your stop loss is 25 pips on this AUD/USD setup.
$50 ÷ 25 pips = $2 per pip required.
$2 per pip = 0.2 lots = two mini lots.
If the stop hits, you lose exactly $50. If the trade reaches a 1:2 reward, you make $100.
