- Step 3
Copy the lots
The result is rounded down to your broker's step, so you never risk more than you decided. Copy it in one click.
Frequently asked questions
Leverage changes the margin required, not what you lose at the stop. Lot size depends only on the risk you choose and the stop distance.
