How the position size formula works
Position size connects three things: how much you're willing to lose, where your stop loss is, and what each pip is worth.
Formula
Lots = (account × risk %) ÷ (stop loss in pips × pip value per lot)
Your stop comes from the chart; the lot size adjusts to fit it. Learn the full method in Position Sizing.
