Why 1%?
At 1% risk, ten losing trades in a row costs under 10% of your account. At 5%, the same run costs about 40% — and needs a 67% gain just to get back.
Stop loss first
Decide where your idea is wrong, set the stop there, then let the calculator choose the lot size. Never the other way round.
Not every pip is equal
A pip on gold, yen pairs and EURUSD is worth different amounts. That's why the same lot size can risk very different money.
