Size a EUR/USD Trade From a Five-Thousand-Dollar Account

[PTScalper]

The tight stop is not free just because it lets you use a bigger lot.

Rounding down every time is the only sane way, Amanhasnoname. One thing I do on top is add the spread to the stop distance before sizing, so a 15 pip stop with a 1.2 spread gets sized as 16.2, because thats what you actually lose when it gets hit. Bit like cutting a plank for the Land Rover, you always lose a bit more than you planned for.

I agree with you, thats smart way.

In long run it can make difference in thousands dollars per year.
