The use of lots of capital of $ 1000 can be adjusted, opening lot 1 for several transactions. in addition it must also adjust the selected pair because the spread is different, will affect the value of capital at the beginning of the open transaction.
Spreads are different for each pair so $ 1000 usage must indeed be adjusted, so also different contract sizes will affect the value of the margin used, all of which must also be adjusted.

safe lots can be determined based on capital and also risk management and the strategies we have, in addition we must calculate the risk we must also count the number of transactions that we often do in one trade.

good use of lots is in accordance with the capital and also the strategies we have, do not use large lots and do not match our skills and capital because the lot will damage our trading psychology.

if you want to be safe with any capital then the smallest lot we use will make a guarantee that you will never experience MC but most traders use lots according to the capital they have, for example, capital of $ 1000 using lot 1

For large capital of $ 1,000 you can use lots based on market conditions, use small trades in advance of 0.05 lots and always backup if prices go against the direction of a total of 0.5 lots.
so get the average price and find the most appropriate position.

If we use $ 1000 in capital then we can use lots more freely, for example with 0.1 lot, we can take many transactions, but we also have to remember the risks involved.

we must be able to calculate the use of lots based on the capital and also the strategies we use and that is usually done when we compile a trading plan.

In determining lod and opening trades according to needs, if a large capital of $ 10000 can open many trading lots, it should be limited to trading security, because the only ones who can provide security are us.

The estimated capital of $ 10000 will be safe with the opening of lots not exceeding 5, and even then, don't use it once because it is risky and difficult to average and if you touch the stop loss it will be quite a drain on your capital.

$ 1000 is a pretty good amount of capital and is sufficient for forex trading with an estimated trade of 1 lot or more.
Even though we can trade with a large enough op, we also still have to maintain capital with money management.

The bigger the capital the better for resilience when trading, with $ 1000 can be converted into several orders opening, with the addition of a $ 1000 capital risk reward system will be good enough to last a long time and can also profit consistently.

for me to use a capital of $ 1000, the safest lot to use is a maximum of 0.05, thus we will have a resistance of 2000 pips, and for me that much resistance will make us safe and comfortable when trading. The assumption is that there is no such large range when things happen that are out of control or predictions

in my opinion the safest when we use $ 1000 capital, we use lots a maximum of 0.05, so we have good resistance, so it will be able to trade calmly later

in my opinion using lot 0.1 is still quite safe, but that is the maximum limit of lots that we can use, because by using lot 0.1 it means that our resistance is 1000 pips and it is still safe
