Updated XAU/USD Lot Size Calculator
This indicator automatically calculates the optimal lot size for XAUUSD (gold) based on the level of risk the trader wants to take. It is designed for traders using MetaTrader 4 or 5 and helps adjust position size according to the specific volatility of gold. The user can set the percentage of capital they are willing to risk on a single trade, for example 1%. The indicator also takes into account the stop loss level, which can be entered in pips or in dollars, as well as the account size (balance or equity).
Based on these parameters, it calculates the exact lot size that matches the risk amount. It then displays on the chart the recommended lot size, the risk amount in dollars, the pip value for XAUUSD, and a confirmation of the stop loss level. This type of indicator is useful for maintaining disciplined risk management and avoiding position sizing errors, especially on a highly volatile asset like gold.
