On a standard silver lot of 5,000 troy ounces, one pip (0.001) is worth $5 — so a $0.10 move is 100 pips, or $500 per lot. Many brokers also offer 1,000 oz or 100 oz contracts, which scale the pip value down to $1 or $0.10; pick your broker's contract in the calculator above.
Position Size Calculator Formula
Lots = Risk Amount ÷ (SL Pips × Pip Value per Lot)
Example (XAG/USD): $10,000 account · 1% risk · 640-pip stop: $100 ÷ (640 × $5.00) = 0.03 lots
About XAG/USD — Silver / US Dollar
Silver trades as both a precious metal and an industrial input (solar panels, electronics), so it reacts to the same real-rate and dollar drivers as gold plus the global growth cycle. In percentage terms it typically moves considerably more than gold, which is why silver positions are usually smaller for the same risk.
