Instrument Guide

AUDUSD position sizing requires careful attention to its commodity-linked volatility and Asian session gaps. With an average daily range of 65 pips, this pair offers decent movement for intraday strategies while remaining manageable for risk control. The $10 pip value per lot makes calculations straightforward - each 0.1 lot risks $1 per pip moved against you. For stop loss placement, consider that AUDUSD's 65-pip average range means 20-30 pip stops are reasonable for intraday trades, while 40-50 pips work for swing positions. Let's work through realistic examples: On a $10,000 account risking 1% ($100), with a 25-pip stop loss, you'd trade 0.4 lots (100 ÷ 25 ÷ 10). This gives you $40 per pip, so your 25-pip stop equals exactly $100 risk. For 2% risk ($200) with a 30-pip stop, you'd trade 0.67 lots (200 ÷ 30 ÷ 10), giving you $67 per pip movement. AUDUSD suits The Funded Trader's prop environment well due to its liquid nature and predictable volatility patterns. The 8% profit target is achievable given the daily range - you'd need about 80 pips of favorable movement with 1% position sizing. However, the 0% daily loss and drawdown limits mean you must be extremely conservative with position sizing and stop placement. Consider starting with smaller positions than calculated to account for potential slippage and spread costs. The pair's tendency to gap during Asian market opens also requires careful overnight position management.
