USD/JPY worked example, same inputs as the form

Account $10,000 · risk 1% ($100.00) · stop 20 pips

Step 1: Cash at risk: $10,000 × 1% = $100.00.
Step 2: Loss per standard lot at that stop: 20 × $6.67 = $133.40.
Step 3: Lots: $100.00 ÷ 133.40 = 0.75. That is 75,000 Units.
Same result: Same figure as the form above: 0.75 standard lots, 75,000 Units, $100.00 at risk.
