Position sizing without guesswork
Risk % → units or lots in one pass. How TradaxLab’s desk tools connect account risk to real size.
Start from risk, not from “how many lots feel right”
Decide the cash you’re willing to lose if the stop hits (account × risk %). Then back out size from stop distance.
Use Position size for units, Lot size for FX contracts, and hand off between them when you add a pair and stop in pips.
Prop and daily budget
If you trade a funded account, Prop drawdown and Daily risk desk answer a different question: can you still take the next trade without breaching rules?
Size only after that check is clear — otherwise perfect R:R on paper still fails the firm.
