How to calculate macimum margin leverage?

[Osoarrogant]

Hi there,
Please read carefully.
I am well aware od the leverage calculators, but they dont allow me to calculate my stop loss point.
I want to be able to calculate the maximum LOT size I can use and not get stopped out of the trade up until it actually hits my SL

Example:
So lets say I want to enter EURUSD Buy/Long position and I have a 300 euro account with 500:1 leverage. My SL position is 50 pips further down from my entry point. What would be the maximum LOT size I can use in order to not get stopped out before the price would drop those 50 pips I set as stop loss?

With a 300 euro account and 500:1 leverage, you can use a maximum lot size of 30,000 units (also known as 0.30 lots) for your EURUSD buy/long position.

Yeah, but up until which SL?
I want to utilize my account to maximum.
I came across some margin call calculators, but they dont go up to 500:1 leverage

To calculate the maximum lot size to avoid being stopped out before hitting your stop-loss, consider your risk percentage and account balance. Divide your risk amount by the product of the stop-loss distance (in pips) and the pip value to determine the maximum lot size.

Divide the risk ammount (meaning the percentage of account im willing to lose?) By the product of the stop loss distance ( which is tje pip difference) and the pip value?
Gogle says that in order to calculate a given pair's pip value I have to multiply a figure by rhe lot size which im using.
So if I am trying AUDUSD, my stop loss is 60 pips down. Risk ammount would be around half of the account, so lets say 150 euro. How do I make this calculation?

Using the smallest lot size 0.01 is safer than using a bigger lot size when using small capital in hundreds of dollars, we will have more chances to try again if the first trading plan fails.

Using the smallest lot size 0.01 is safer than using a bigger lot size when using small capital in hundreds of dollars, we will have more chances to try again if the first trading plan fails.

In this way, you can manage risk more effectively, preserving your capital and providing more opportunities to trade even if initial plans don't work out.

you should first calculate the pip value on the pair, for example, for EURUSD the pip value is 10, which means if you open a trade with 1 lot volume size, you will get 10$ for each pip of price movement, now if your SL is 10 pips away, and you want to hit SL with 10$ loss, you should know that, with 1 lot, it will hit SL at 100 negatives, so if you want it to be 10$, you only need 1/10 of that, so u should open with 0.1 lot

Totally correct and this is the fact that makes a lot of people lose their money! unfortunately, people expect it to be exciting and interesting but looking at a price line is never exciting unless you risk too much, and risking too much is what makes you lose easily.
