fair lot is 2 percent of capital and if with an averaging strategy it can be accumulated and divided by the lot.

it's not like sir. for the size of the starter capital of $ 1000 in my opinion is too large, so use a small lot first to learn about the style of trading that is good and right

instead of trading and using the lot with related capital it has been tested on a demo account, so lot usage should have been applied.

if you only use 1 transaction until closing then maximum lot 1 can also be possible but if based on a good MM lot 0.1 is the ideal lot for trading with 1000 USD capital.

the size of the lot that is used must also be calculated from our trading style, whether we often open one or more positions of one or even many. From there we can apply the size of the lot according to the style and capital.

in my opinion with a capital of 1000 $ is more suitable to use 0.1 lots maximum because for risk management with lots of that much is enough for a number of transactions.

If a capital of 1000 usd with lots 0.1-0.2 will be safer, of course, it must also be accompanied by money management and SL TP.

we can adjust the number of lots that we trade with our trading habits along with our calculations when we place a stop loss, so we can use it safely and optimally.

Lot 0.1 = $ 0.10 pis its safe. Lot 0.10 = $1 per pips its mean you have 1000 pips resistance to withstand floating losses but it is not including stop out..

To be more secure I agree with the use of these lots.

for capital of $ 1000 in my opinion use lots 0.1-0.2 because with 1-2 transactions it still has a durability of 10k-5k pips, in my opinion it's still quite strong. If you want to add a transaction, reduce the lot.

for a capital of $ 1000 USD in my opinion is big enough and we have to use it wisely, related to the lot in my opinion if we are single transactions then use a lot of at least 0.05

With a capital of $ 1000 it's big enough, but if it's not managed properly it could happen MC.
the number of lots used for this capital is 5-10%. approximately the 0.05 - 0.10 estimate is the safest.

try with the smallest lot because no matter how much capital is still there, so use risk management as well as possible so that the capital remains safe.
