Why we ask for live tick data

TigerEdge does not hard-code a universal tick value for Deriv synthetic indices. Contract specifications can differ by broker, account type and instrument variant, and brokers can update them. Reading the live MT5 specification prevents a stale preset from silently producing a dangerous lot size.

The formula

Risk money = Balance × Risk %Risk per 1 lot = (Stop distance ÷ Tick size) × Tick valueLots = Risk money ÷ Risk per 1 lot

Risk note: The calculator is an educational risk-sizing aid. It does not account for slippage, gaps, commissions, spread changes or every broker-specific execution rule.
