Your size
An example with typical numbers. Change any box to use your own.
Trade 5.00 lots at your broker (10 ounces a lot) to match 0.5 lots at 100 ounces a lot.
- The exact figure
- 5 lots, no rounding needed.
- The same money per move
- A move of 1.00 in price: $50.00 on the source position, $50.00 on yours.
Then check what one stop-out costs at that size: the stop loss calculator.
Find the contract size in the platform: right-click the symbol, Specification, "Contract size". Brokers' lot steps can differ from 0.01.

Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Why the same lots are not the same trade
A lot is a number of units, and brokers choose the units. Gold is usually 100 ounces a lot, but some brokers use 10 or 1, and index CFDs can be $1, $10 or $100 a point. Copy "0.50 lots" from a platform with a different contract size and the risk is ten or a hundred times what was meant. The contract size is in the symbol's specification: read it before the first trade. More in how to calculate lot size for gold.
