Ethereum (ETHUSD) Lot Size Calculator
Ethereum (ETHUSD) is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. With its smart contract functionality and DeFi ecosystem, ETH often moves even more than Bitcoin during bull runs. This calculator helps you size positions safely.
Ethereum can be more volatile than Bitcoin, especially during DeFi summers or major protocol upgrades. Gas fee spikes and network congestion can also impact sentiment. Unlike Bitcoin which is primarily a store of value, ETH has utility value that adds fundamental complexity to price movements.
Example Calculation
Step-by-step lot size calculation for ETHUSD:
The Formula
Step 1: Your Trading Parameters
Account Size
$10,000
Risk Per Trade
1%
Stop Loss
$100
Step 2: Risk Amount
$100
Maximum loss per trade
Step 3: Lot Size

💡 Note: Lot size determines your risk, while leverage determines your margin requirement. With higher leverage (e.g., 1:100), you need less margin to open the same position, but your risk stays the same.
