How to Calculate Forex Lot Size on TradingView. Free Calculator
Do you know that TradingView has a built-in Forex position size calculator?
It is completely free, it is simple to use, and it does not require a paid subscription to use it.
In this article, I will teach you how to calculate a lot size for your trades on TradingView easily in 3 simple steps.
Step 1 - Setting Up the Calculator
First, open a price chart on TradingView and find a "Trading Panel" button in the bottom of the window.
Click "Maximize Panel" afterward.
In the list of brokers, select " TradingView Paper Trading" and click "Connect".
Paper Trading is built in demo trading account on TradingView.
It does not require KYC or any other verification.
Choose "Account" list box and tap "Create Account" .
Then fill all the inputs with exactly the same parameters as your real trading account has.
Type in your exact account size, leverage and commission rate.
Then click "Create".
TradingView position size calculator is ready to use.
Step 2 - Find the Trading Opportunity
Find a trading setup to trade. Make sure that you know the exact entry level and stop loss.
Imagine that you want to buy EURUSD from 1.0899 price level with 1.08846 stop loss level.
Step 3 - Measure a Proper Lot Size
Right-click on a price chart and choose "Trade" and in the appeared menu select "Create New Order".
Fill the following fields:
"Price" - your entry level,
"% risk" - your desired risk per trade in %,
"Stop Loss price" - your stop loss price level.
Your lot size will be based on the calculated units .
In forex trading 1 standard lot equals 100000 units.
The only thing that you should do is to take the exact units number and divide it by 100000.
In our case we have 704225 units.
704225 / 100000 = 7,04 lot.
That will be your lot size for buying EURUSD with 1% risk for 100000 trading account.
If you apply TradingView for market analysis and charting and your trading terminal does not have a lot size calculator, this method will be the quickest and the easiest to apply for measuring the position size.

Gold within my mentioned rangeTechnical analysis: Gold is Trading within my projected zones as I will constantly monitor the situation and will await for confirmation of a break-out or Trading my key reversal zones (either below the Hourly 4 chart’s Support or Daily chart Resistance). That is the plan and it is my belief that it is the most viable one to get the most of the current Price-action as I will continue Scalping (Swing orders not possible under such market setting). I still don’t have entry confirmation as Technically Gold is Trading on Ascending Channel but isolated within Rising Wedge, however both correlating assets are Trading on disappointing numbers so Bullish trend (spikes to the upside) are here to stay.
My position: So far I have Buy and Sell limits which are working greatly so far. I have Sold Gold throughout yesterday’s session from #3,348.80 and added more Selling orders on #3,337.80 break-out to the downside which delivered decent Profit.

Gold delivering excellent opportunitiesTechnical analysis: Gold remains top tier safe-haven at the moment and prolonged weakness on DX isn’t going in Sellers favor. #3,357.80 (news aftermath) test way above #3,352.80 benchmark test sequence (Gold tests record High’s on Monthly basis) was quiet straightforward, where break of mentioned level has #3,400.80 psychological benchmark as an Buying Target to pursue. Gold didn’t appeared as underpriced since by my estimations, these are fair Technical values on Gold as this could be the first Month lately to close in hard gains. Downwards dynamics should start pressuring smaller charts however (Selling options will certainly appear) as current area should be Traded / Sold between local Top’s (what I successfully did).
My position: I have waited for Gold to Bottom out near #3,318.80 - #3,322.80 and aggressively Bought the Bottom which delivered spectacular returns (monitoring DX on Selling sequence which added significant Buying pressure). Keep in mind that Gold has #3,400.80 benchmark on the cards now as an decent possibility.
Gold Market Analysis and Trading Recommendations for TodayYesterday, gold surged then pulled back in a washout move triggered by CPI data, before rebounding again in the evening on news-driven sentiment, closing the daily chart bullish. This morning's opening saw further rally breaking new highs, confirming strong bullish momentum. Today's strategy remains buying on dips with the uptrend.
On the 4H chart, gold stabilized at the mid-Bollinger band before rebounding with consecutive bullish candles. Moving averages are bullishly aligned and Bollinger bands are widening—all signaling strong bullishness. However, as the triangle consolidation range remains unbroken, chasing the rally is unadvised. Focus on dip-buying: key supports at 3,345–3,340 and 3,325; resistances at 3,385 and 3,400, where potential shorting opportunities may be considered based on price momentum.

Investment itself is not the source of risk; it is only when investment behavior escapes rational control that risks lie in wait. In the trading process, always bear in mind that restraining impulsiveness is the primary criterion for success. I share trading signals daily, and all signals have been accurate without error for a full month. Regardless of your past profits or losses, with my assistance, you have the hope to achieve a breakthrough in your investment.
Quick update: I announced #3,400.80 testAs discussed throughout my yesterday's session commentary: "My position: I have waited for Gold to Bottom out near #3,318.80 - #3,322.80 and aggressively Bought the Bottom which delivered spectacular returns (monitoring DX on Selling sequence which added significant Buying pressure). Keep in mind that Gold has #3,400.80 benchmark on the cards now as an decent possibility."
I have announced #3,400.80 benchmark test since #3,350's and even though I expected the upside extension, my Profit margin (over #200k EUR in #3 weeks) was more than enough and I observed Price-action from sidelines.
My position: Gold is Trading on Bullish extension due Middle East crisis escalation. I am looking at my calculated my re-Buy zones to Buy every dip on Gold and continue Scalping (Buy orders only) towards #3,452.80 benchmark potential extension. However if Gold closes the week below #3,400.80 benchmark, Gold will continue ranging and I will alter my perspective (less likely).
Insist on shorting gold on ralliesToday we made a total profit of 350 pips in 2 short trades. First, we shorted gold near 3345, and when gold fell to around 3330, we manually closed the order to lock in profits; the second time, gold rebounded sharply with the help of CPI data, and we seized the opportunity to short gold again near 3360, and ended the transaction by hitting TP: 3340. We accurately grasped the profit of gold shorting.
At present, gold is in a narrow range of fluctuations near the 3330 mark. Relatively speaking, gold is still in a weak position. Although gold has rebounded sharply with the help of the positive CPI data, it has shown a long upper shadow in the candle chart due to the rapid retracement, which has strengthened the resistance above and limited the rebound space of gold in the short term. In addition, the morphological structure shows signs of building a head and shoulders top structure. The resistance area in the short term is 3345-3355; followed by 3360-3370. Although gold is currently in a narrow range of fluctuations near the 3330 mark, it does not show obvious signs of support. It is easy to fall below the area near 3330 in a weak situation. The relatively strong support is in the 3320-3310 area, followed by the area near 3300-3290.
So for short-term trading, I still advocate taking the 3345-3355 area as resistance first and continue to short gold!

GOLD (XAU/USD) Imminent long opportunitiesThis week, my focus for GOLD is on potential long opportunities around the current price level. Price is sitting within a strong area of demand, so my plan is to wait for signs of accumulation and a clear slowdown in bearish momentum before considering any entries.
Ideally, I’d like to see the Asia low swept, which currently lies in the middle of the zone — that would offer even stronger confirmation for a buy setup.
If this current zone doesn’t hold, I have a well-defined 9H demand zone around the 3,220 level, which sits in a more discounted area and aligns well with the overall bullish trend on the higher timeframes.
Confluences for GOLD Buys:
- Clean major daily demand that caused a change of character to the upside
- Plenty of liquidity above and an unmitigated supply higher up
- This is a pro-trend trade, aligning with overall higher timeframe bullishness
- DXY has been bearish over the past few weeks, supporting gold upside
P.S. If price respects this current demand and moves higher, we may see a short-term reaction from the 3H supply zones above — but we’ll monitor price action and adjust accordingly.
Have a great trading week
GOLD The Federal Reserve is likely to interpret the June 2025 University of Michigan (UoM) consumer sentiment and inflation expectations data as mixed but cautiously encouraging, with implications for monetary policy:
Key Data Points
Consumer Sentiment: 60.5 (vs. 53.5 forecast, prior 52.2) – a sharp rebound to the highest level since mid-2023.
1-Year Inflation Expectations: 5.1% (vs. 6.6% prior) – a significant decline, nearing pre-tariff levels.
Fed Interpretation
Improved Consumer Sentiment:
The jump to 60.5 signals renewed optimism about the economy, likely driven by reduced trade tensions (e.g., tariff pauses) and stable labor markets. This aligns with recent upward revisions to April and May sentiment data.
The Fed will view this as a sign of economic resilience, reducing urgency for near-term rate cuts to stimulate growth.
Sharply Lower Inflation Expectations:
The drop to 5.1% (from 6.6%) aligns with the New York Fed’s May 2025 survey showing declining inflation expectations across all horizons.
This suggests consumers are growing more confident that the Fed’s policies (and tariff adjustments) are curbing price pressures, easing fears of a wage-price spiral.
Policy Implications:
Dovish Tilt Supported: Lower inflation expectations reduce the risk of entrenched price pressures, giving the Fed flexibility to cut rates later in 2025 if growth slows.
No Immediate Cuts Likely: Strong sentiment and a resilient labor market (unemployment at 4.2%) justify maintaining rates at 4.25–4.50% in July.
Focus on Tariff Risks: The Fed will remain cautious about potential inflation rebounds from Trump’s tariffs, which could add 1.5% to prices by late 2025.
Market Reactions
DXY (Dollar Index): Likely to dip modestly as lower inflation expectations boost rate-cut bets, but sentiment-driven growth optimism may limit losses. Key support at 98.00–98.20.
Bonds: 10-year yields may edge lower (toward 4.00%) on reduced inflation fears, though strong sentiment could cap declines.
Equities: Stocks (especially consumer-discretionary sectors) may rally on improved economic outlook.
Conclusion
The Fed will likely view this data as validating its cautious stance: inflation expectations are cooling, but strong sentiment and labor markets argue against premature easing. A September rate cut remains the base case, contingent on continued disinflation and no tariff-driven price spikes. Traders should watch for June CPI (July 11) and Q2 GDP to confirm trends.

Wave 3 up is coming for goldHi traders,
Last week gold started an impulse wave but after it broke the previous high it made another correction down. So this could be wave 1 and 2 (purple) of wave 3 (blue).
Then next week we could see the next impulse wave 3 (purple) up from the bullish 4H FVG on the left.
Let's see what price does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a change in orderflow to bullish and an impulse wave up and correction down on a lower timeframe to finish and trade longs again.
If you want to learn more about trading FVG's & liquidity sweeps with wave analysis, please make sure to follow me.
This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis.
Don't be emotional, just trade your plan!

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
Another powerful day in the markets with our chart idea unfolding exactly as anticipated.
In yesterday’s update, we highlighted that all our targets 3305, 3334, and 3359 were hit following the EMA5 cross and lock confirmation. We also pointed out the EMA5 lock above 3359, opening a clear gap to 3389, which was also hit perfectly. The absence of a further EMA5 lock above confirmed a precise rejection, sending price back down into the lower Goldturns for support, just as projected. We then had the bounce off the 3334 level, another clean reaction, just like we stated.
Now today, after testing and bouncing from 3334 into 3359, price is now charging back toward 3389 for a potential retest, as that level remains open once again.
The structure is playing out beautifully, we will stick to the plan, and manage risk wisely.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips and track the movement with ema5 lock or rejection. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

Perfect prediction of Monday's opening trendGold opened near 3310 today, and fell under pressure after reaching a high of 3321, which was in line with our previous prediction of the short-selling layout in the 3320-25 area. We successfully entered the short order and successfully stopped profit at 3305. Then the market was supported and stabilized near 3296. We decisively went long and also realized profit.
From the current trend, the short-term suppression during the day is still focused on the 3320-3325 line, and the key suppression area is around 3338-3345. Gold closed in an inverted hammer shape last week. From a technical point of view, the rebound is still mainly short-selling. If you are not in a good rhythm in gold trading recently, welcome to communicate and reduce unnecessary trial and error.
【Short-term technical analysis】
The upper short-term pressure focuses on the 3320-3325 area. If it rebounds to this point, it will be short first and look for a decline. If it rises strongly to the 3338-3345 range, it will still be the focus of short positions. The lower support focuses on the 3295-3285 area. The overall strategy of "high-short-low-long" is maintained. It is not recommended to frequently chase orders in the middle position. Be patient and wait for key point signals. I will remind you of the specific entry and exit plan during the session. It is recommended to pay attention in time.
【Gold operation strategy】
1. Go short first at the rebound 3320-3325 line. If it touches the 3338-3345 area, you can cover your position and go short. The target is 3306-3295. If it breaks, continue to hold and look down.
