FAQ

Common questions

How is position size calculated on silver?

Decide how much you'll lose if price hits your stop, and the calculator returns the lot where a stop-out loses exactly that — because 1 lot of silver is 5000 oz. The formula is: Lots = risk ÷ (stop distance × 5000).

What lot size should a beginner use on silver?

Start small — 0.01 or 0.10 lots. On silver, 1 standard lot is 5000 oz, so a modest price move is large in money. Let a fixed risk, not your margin, decide the lot.

Can I see the result in local currency?

Yes — switch the account toggle to INR (or your currency) and set the conversion rate; the calculator converts every figure.

Is this the exact figure my broker will use?

It's an accurate estimate on standard contract specs. Confirm live spreads, swaps and your account's exact leverage inside the platform before trading.
