How to Calculate CAD/JPY Position Size

01

Set Your Account Risk

02

Define Your Stop Loss

Enter your entry price and stop loss level. The calculator measures the distance in pips and applies the correct pip value for CAD/JPY automatically.

03

Read Your Lot Size

The calculator outputs your exact lot size in standard lots, your R:R ratio, and your total risk amount. Adjust stop distance until the numbers fit your plan.

Position Size Formula

Risk Amount ($) = Account Balance × (Risk % ÷ 100)

SL Pips = |Entry – Stop Loss| ÷ Pip Size (0.01)

Lot Size = Risk Amount ÷ (SL Pips × Pip Value per Lot)
