    USDCHF position size

    How many lots or contracts of USDCHF (US dollar / Swiss franc) to trade for a given risk and stop.

    USDCHF is the price of one USD in CHF. One standard lot is 100,000 USD and one pip is 0.0001.

    One pip is worth CHF 10.00 per lot. On a USD account that amount is divided by the price of USDCHF, so the pip value moves with the rate: enter the current price in the calculator.

    With CHF 100,000.00 and 1% at risk, a stop of 20 pip gives 5 lots, which loses CHF 1,000.00 at the stop.
