Why we ask for live tick data

TigerEdge does not hard-code a universal tick value for Gold, Nasdaq, Deriv synthetics or Weltrade SyntX. 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.
