Suggested MT5 lot size

We can't suggest a safe lot size yet. Every broker prices Gold slightly differently, and guessing could put more money at risk than you planned. The lot size appears here once the correct broker and MT5 symbol specifications are verified in the advanced section below.
What's a lot?
A lot is just trade size. Bigger lot = bigger wins AND bigger losses. This tool keeps the size matched to your risk.
What's a stop-loss?
The price where you exit a losing trade on purpose. It's how you decide your risk before you enter, not after.
Why verify broker specs?
Gold at one broker can be worth a different amount per point than at another. Verified numbers mean your risk plan is real.
