The terminal's lot calculator, on-chart and free β size from the risk, never from a feeling.
Account balance Γ risk % = the dollars this trade may lose. That number, not a hunch, is where sizing starts.
Use the SuperTrend(10,3) trail β the desk's stop β or type your own price. The distance from entry to stop is the trade's true cost per lot.
lots = risk $ Γ· (stop distance Γ contract size). One XAUUSD lot is 100 oz, so a $1 move is $100 β the panel does that arithmetic per tick.
TP1/TP2/TP3 at 1.5R, 2R and 3R, each with the $ profit it pays at your exact size β so "is this worth taking" is a number before it is a position.
