Safe position: the biggest trade that survives a normal day, at $100K (or the smallest size sold).
How big can you trade safely?
The biggest trade that survives one normal day going against you.
Biggest safe trade on EUR/USD2.9 standard lots1 lot = 100,000 euros · worth $327,332 in total
- Room to lose today$2,000
- A normal day moves0.611%
- So the most you can hold$327,332
Hold more than this and a normal day against you would break the single-asset loss limit. (Leverage of 1:30 would let you open up to $3,000,000.)
