Excel Spreadsheet: Lot size and Risk calculator.

I am fairly new to Apiary, Don't know if this will be of any use to anyone but me. *I have been trying to more effeciently calculate my lot size for a trade based on two factors. 1) .5% of my account size, 2) the number of pips to the stop loss. I created a spread sheet that helps me, thought I would share. *my first posting of this sort .

Some Notes:*

at the beginning of the day

1) put in my current account balance.

2) Select the Risk in % of account value. (i.e. .5% max for each trade Idea).

3) enter the current exchange rate for 7 pairs needed to calculate the Pip Value in USD. *(note this will get us in the ballpark to calculate the Pip Value. won't be exact unless you can program in a feed from alveo or another source. that is beyond me at the moment. If a big move happens, you can always update the current value.)

4) Setup which pairs you want to quickly track lot sizes.

5) enter the stoploss in pips*

6) determine if you want to leg into a trade

*a) specify % risk allocated to each leg.

*b) specify how far away each leg is from the Stop Loss as a percentage of the Total Stop Loss. entry at the full distance would be 100%. *example: 40pip stop loss with one entry @ 40pips (100%) and second entry at 20 pips from the SL (50%). *hopefully it isn't two confusing. look at the speadsheet for an example. *

7) Each leg displays the number of pips risk, USD Risk, and Maximum number of lots to trade. also shows the total risk, total lots, for all legs.

NOTE: *the number of lots have been truncated during the calculation to prevent rounding up. *example: if the calculation said I can open .2589 Lots, it is truncated to .25 to prevent it rounding to .26.

The calculator shows the possible income projections based on the desired risk, amount of capital, type of lot size used, and the PIP value for major USD pairs.

The following notes apply.

Lot Size*= The lot size you have with your account.

PIP Value (approximate)*= Lot Size divided by 10,000. For example standard lot size, 100,000 / 10,000 = $10.

Risk % or % of Capital at Risk*= This is the amount that you choose to risk per trade. Usually, 1.5-2.0% is a recommended value.

Average PIP Stop Loss*= With this value you have to estimate the average stop loss size for the trading method used.

PIPS Profit Per Day*= for swing trading may be considered PIPS per trade and the days may be then considered trades.
