GER40 is priced in euros: on a 1 lot = €1 per point contract, a 100-point move is €100 per lot, which the calculator converts to your account currency at the live EUR rate. Brokers also use €5 or €10 per point — set yours in the calculator above.
Position Size Calculator Formula
Lots = Risk Amount ÷ (SL Pips × Pip Value per Lot)
Example (GER40): $10,000 account · 1% risk · 160-point stop: $100 ÷ (160 × $1.12) = 0.55 lots
