Instrument Guide

EUR/USD is the most liquid forex pair, making it ideal for position sizing calculations due to its tight spreads and predictable pip values. With an average daily range of 80 pips, you have plenty of room for strategic stop loss placement without getting stopped out by normal market noise. The 80-pip daily range means a 30-40 pip stop loss gives you reasonable breathing room while staying within typical intraday movements. For a worked example on a $100,000 account: At 1% risk ($1,000), with a 40-pip stop loss, you'd trade 2.5 lots (40 pips × $10 × 2.5 lots = $1,000 risk). At 2% risk ($2,000), you'd double that to 5 lots. On a smaller $50,000 account, 1% risk ($500) with the same 40-pip stop would be 1.25 lots. EUR/USD is excellent for Instant Funding's prop trading rules. The 80-pip daily range gives you multiple opportunities to hit the 8% profit target without excessive risk, while the predictable movements help you avoid the 5% daily loss limit. The pair's stability makes it easier to manage the 10% max drawdown rule compared to more volatile instruments. The key advantage is EUR/USD's consistency – you won't face the wild overnight gaps common in stocks or crypto. This predictability, combined with the standard $10 pip value, makes mental position sizing calculations straightforward. Most successful prop traders on EUR/USD stick to 1-2% risk per trade, allowing for 2-3 concurrent positions while respecting the daily loss limits.
