I agree with you, thats smart way.GrahamW1972 wrote: Wed Nov 04, 2026 2:53 pmRounding 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.Amanhasnoname wrote:The tight stop is not free just because it lets you use a bigger lot.
In long run it can make difference in thousands dollars per year.
