Message: [QUOTE="Enivid, post: 195011, member: 1"] First, that's a totally backwards way to trade - you need to set your stop-loss based on the trading strategy, not based on your account size, position size, or greed. Second, to actually answer your question, one variable is missing. The question that can be answered sounds like this: How to calculate my stop loss so I won’t loose more than 50k of my 100k In my account with a position of X lots. Now, if you know that X lots, then it becomes trivial (almost) to calculate the stop-loss. Basically SL = Risk / (PositionSize * 1LotPipValue). So, for your case and if you trade 10 lots of EUR/USD, the SL = 50,000 / (10 * 10) = 500 standard pips. [/QUOTE]
