How this is calculated
Average daily range is a historical average, not a ceiling. Many days move less than this, and some move far more.
This shows what a routine, unremarkable move for this pair could cost at the position size you actually hold, which is exactly where leverage turns an ordinary day into an oversized loss.
Dollar loss at the average range equals lots times dollar value per pip times the average daily range in pips.
Use the pip value and lot size calculator and the leverage responsibility scorecard below to check the rest of this position's sizing.
