    USDJPY position size

    How many lots or contracts of USDJPY (US dollar / Japanese yen) to trade for a given risk and stop.

    USDJPY is the price of one USD in JPY. One standard lot is 100,000 USD and one pip is 0.01, as on every pair quoted in yen.

    One pip is worth ¥1,000 per lot. On a USD account that amount is divided by the price of USDJPY, so the pip value moves with the rate: enter the current price in the calculator.

    With ¥100,000 and 1% at risk, a stop of 20 pip gives 0.05 lots, which loses ¥1,000 at the stop.
