XAUUSD lot size calculator

Size a position from the risk you accept, not the other way round. Works for XAUUSD (CFD/spot) lots and for GC and MGC futures.

Or enter entry and stop prices and the distance is filled in:

–Money at risk
–XAUUSD lots (rounded down)
–per $1 move, per lot
–GC contracts (100 oz)
–MGC contracts (10 oz)

How do I calculate lot size for XAUUSD? Lots = money at risk ÷ (stop distance in dollars × contract size). With most brokers 1 standard lot of XAUUSD is 100 ounces, so a $1 move is $100 per lot. Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk ($100), $5 stop: 100 ÷ (5 × 100) = 0.20 lots.

What is the pip value of gold (XAUUSD)? It depends on how your broker defines a pip. With a 100-ounce lot, every $0.01 move is worth $1 and every $1 move is worth $100 per lot. Check your broker's contract specification for the exact contract size.

How much is one tick on gold futures? GC (100 oz) moves in $0.10 ticks worth $10 each, so $1 is $100 per contract. MGC (micro, 10 oz) ticks are worth $1, so $1 is $10 per contract.

Education only. Not financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Contract sizes differ between brokers: check yours.
