The Golden Rule of Position Sizing

Professional gold traders rarely risk more than 1-2% of their account on a single trade. This protects capital during drawdown periods and ensures longevity in the markets.

⚠️ Risk Warning: Trading gold involves substantial risk of loss. Use this calculator as a guide, not a guarantee. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
