USDCHF: 1 pip = 0.0001 in price. Values in CHF, the currency it is quoted in; the calculator converts them to your account currency.
A $10,000 account, 1% risk ($100) and a stop 20 pips away. Each pip is worth 10.00 CHF per lot, so the stop costs 200.00 CHF per lot: 100 ÷ 200.00 = 0.50 lots.
On USDCHF, 1 pip is a move of 0.0001 in the price. With 1 lot (contract size 100,000) it is worth CHF 10; with 0.10 lots, CHF 1, and with 0.01 lots, CHF 0.10. As USDCHF is quoted in CHF, the calculator converts it to your account currency at the ECB exchange rate.
With a 20-pip stop, each lot loses CHF 200. To risk CHF 100: 100 ÷ 200.00 = 0.5000 lots, which rounded down to the 0.01 step is 0.50 lots.
At almost every MT4 and MT5 broker it is 0.01 lots (a micro lot), that is 1,000 USD, and each pip is worth CHF 0.10 at that size.
For retail clients in the EU, ESMA caps USDCHF at 1:30. At a price of 0.80000, 1 lot controls CHF 80,000 and needs about CHF 2,667 of margin.
