"Can you possibly tell me how I can find out how much 1% is a lot with a balance of €100?
I would like to know how much 1% per trade is in lots if I have a balance of 100 USD
You are supposed to use a maximum of 1% of the available credit per trade, right? That is the recommendation. It's about risk management"


A 1% trade (assuming 1% of a 100 USD balance) is 1 USD. 

In this scenario: 1% of Your Balance: If your balance is 100 USD, 1% of this is still 1 USD. This is the amount you are willing to risk per trade according to the risk management strategy.

Leverage Impact: With 1:500 leverage, your 1 USD can control a 500 USD position in the market (1 USD * 500 leverage).

Calculating Lot Size with High Leverage: The next step is to determine how many lots this equates to, based on the asset you're trading. Continuing with the forex example, and assuming you're trading EUR/USD:

If EUR/USD is trading at 1.2000, then each micro lot (1,000 units of EUR) is worth 1,200 USD in the market.
With 500 USD of market position available for your 1 USD risk at 1:500 leverage, you're close to being able to control a micro lot but still not fully there in terms of a full 1,000 units of EUR given the pair's price.
