capital of $ 1000 USD including large capital so we have to adjust it to our trading style, for example we do 3 transactions per day, the safe lot to use is a maximum of 0.1

use the actual lot, but if you use $ 1000 capital then you should be able to calculate the maximum lot usage based on capital, number of transactions and target profit owned by the plan and management.

for market conditions like now as much as possible use the smallest lot, maybe if the capital is equal to $ 1,000 then it can use a maximum of 0.05 lots.

It is enough capital to trade and i think need a good management. For using lot size it depend on you if you are aggressive trader you can use a high leverage and use a big lot size but if you want to more safe use a small leverage as such 1:50 automatically you can not use a big lot size.

Capital is a reference for opening an order in a balanced lot size. Depending on the leverage used also on the capital.
for capital of $ 1,000 it's better to use 1: 100-200 leverage so trading is more controlled and can't open over lots.

for capital of $ 1000 capital that is my responsibility so the lot used should be a maximum of 1 lot, not to exceed 1 lot because it will enter risky trading.

The calculation should be in percentage, so whatever the capital is no problem, for $ 1000 if the percentage is 1-5% for each trading transaction

for responsibility capital of 1000 $ then you should use a maximum lot of 0.1 to have extra resilience and still be able to open a position, if trading style only makes 1-2 transactions, the lot is very good.

For a capital of $ 1000, it is best to only add up to 0.05 of the capital because it will be more safety and will not make your account mc

a maximum of 0.10 because it is better and does not make mc and does have to use stop loss to be safe and comfortable

Provided that trading is careful and with money management will prevent the MC.
$ 1,000 Capital each person has a different secure valuation, because management and strategy are also different.

with a capital of $ 1000 in my opinion has been quite large, as long as we use a good strategy and the use of lots that fit the MM will be safe, with that much capital in my opinion adjusting with leverage and trading style in order to determine the right and safe lot.

capital of $ 1,000 in my opinion would be more flexible if using leverage 1: 1000 and by trading using the smallest lot, we can trade with a number of transactions that seem to be even more powerful to do averaging up to several levels.

the calculation of the number of lots used depends on how many positions are taken in a transaction, for example with a capital of 1000 USD and a transaction of 10 times the maximum lot that can be used is 0.1 lot per transaction, smaller is better

I think that amount of capital is still standard and lots used must still pay attention to the strict MM because it is still prone to MC, if in my opinion keep watch and use lots of 0.01-0.05 because the range of these lots in my opinion is still very safe to apply in that kind of capital .
