Trade 2.50 lots to risk $500 at your stop.
Daily loss left today 25% of it
Room to max loss 17% of it
FX conversions use the ECB reference rates of 2026-10-13. Sizes are rounded down, so the risk never goes over what you set. A stop doesn't guarantee your fill: in fast markets the loss can be larger.
Example: 1 Step Standard · Evaluation · 50K
Risking 1% ($500) on EURUSD with a 20-pip stop gives 2.5 lots. That stop uses 25% of the daily loss limit and 17% of the max loss on a fresh account. After a losing day there is less room, so type what is left today.
The limits your stop has to fit, by account
Fresh accounts, from Blue Guardian's official pages. The max loss trails on some accounts, so the room to it can be smaller than shown once the balance has been higher.

Blue Guardian position size questions
What lot size can I trade on a Blue Guardian account?
It depends on your stop and on what is left of the account's limits. On a fresh 1 Step Standard · Evaluation · 50K account, risking 1% ($500) on EURUSD with a 20-pip stop is 2.5 lots. Pick your own account, stop and today's remaining daily loss in the calculator.
Does Blue Guardian have a daily loss limit?
Yes, on every account we track. A stop that would lose more than what is left of today's limit breaks it, even if it is only 1% of the balance; the calculator sizes the trade so the stop stays inside.
