EURCHF Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

Direct Technical Answer

EURCHF contract size is 100,000 EUR per 1.00 standard lot. Quoted in francs, pip value is about $11.40 per 0.0001, matching USDCHF conversion. Typical spread is 0.3 to 0.9 pips with a 30 to 50 pip daily ATR. For $100,000, lots = 1000 / (stop pips × 11.40), which is 5.84 lots at a 15-pip stop.

EURCHF spends over 70% of sessions inside H4 ranges, which is why it is the G10 mean-reversion pair. The pip is $11.40, so 5.84 lots at 15 pips is 1% of $100,000. SNB surprise cuts are the exception that made 2015 famous: a range pair that can gap 200 pips. Trade Bollinger touches in Zurich hours. Do not size 5.84 lots into an SNB warning as if the 30 to 50 pip ATR were a law.

Euro notional, franc quote, $11.40, tiny ATR

1.00 lot is 100,000 EUR quoted in CHF. 10 CHF per pip converts near $11.40, same weight class as USDCHF. ATR 30 to 50 pips is the smallest in this 30-symbol set along with EURGBP. That is why the 1% stop is 15 pips and lots are 5.84, not EURUSD 5.00 at 20 pips (different pip) and not USDCHF 4.38 at 20 pips (different stop).

Spread 0.3 to 0.9 pips. Handles 0.9350, 0.9400, 0.9450. Zurich/Frankfurt 06:30 to 11:30 UTC is the book. After NY lunch this pair is a heartbeat, not a market.

Bollinger mean reversion versus SNB intervention memory

H4 range touches, Bollinger bands, and 00/50 parity handles are the setup. 70%+ of sessions stay inside structure. That statistic is why people oversize. SNB surprise cuts or verbal intervention are the other 30% of the story in dollar terms: one gap pays for years of 15-pip scalps, in the firm's favor if you were 5.84 lots long the wrong side.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and flatten into SNB assessments. Mean reversion is the product. SNB days are a different product called "flat."

5.84 lots at 15 pips with a heavy tick

lots = 1000 / (15 × 11.40) = 5.85, stored as 5.84 at 1%, 2.92 at 0.50%. Scalp 6 to 10, intraday 12 to 20, swing 30 to 50 (a full ATR). Set 11.40 in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard. A $10 leftover pip would allow 6.67 lots and silent 1.14% risk.

If EURUSD and USDCHF are open, you already own this cross as residual. Adding 5.84 lots is a third Europe-Switzerland ticket. Haircut. EURGBP is the other tiny-ATR hide; do not run both at 5+ lots as "two quiet pairs."

Trade Zurich mean reversion, never SNB with 5.84 lots

Best: 06:30 to 11:30 UTC fade of H4 range extremes at 0.94 handles, 2.92 lots, 15-pip-class stop, spread under 0.9. Skip SNB weeks at full size. Do not use it as an NFP hide the way EURGBP works; CHF still has haven flow.

Confirm $11.40 tick, SNB calendar, unused EURUSD/USDCHF budget, and range location on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. EURCHF is a 15-pip mean-reversion specialist. It is a 200-pip SNB memory when you ignore the calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions: EURCHF Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

What is EURCHF pip value per 1.00 lot?

About $11.40 per 0.0001 because pips are francs. 10 CHF / USDCHF-linked conversion ≈ $11.40, in the same family as USDCHF. Recalculate if CHF trends hard. It is not EURUSD's $10.

What lot size is 1% of $100,000 on EURCHF?

5.84 lots at a 15-pip stop. 2.92 lots at 0.50%. EURUSD 5.00 at 20 pips is a different pip and ATR. USDCHF 4.38 at 20 pips is a different stop. Do this pair's math.

How do I convert an EURCHF pip to USD?

CHF pip cash = 10 CHF per lot. Dollar pip ≈ 10 / USDCHF (or via EURUSD×EURCHF chain). Near 0.88 USDCHF that is $11.36. Use MT5 tick value if the chain is messy, then lock it.

Is the 30 to 50 pip ATR a reason to use 10-pip stops at 8 lots?

6 to 10 pips is a scalp only in Zurich depth. 8 lots at 10 pips is still ~$912 at $11.40, near 1%, and SNB can skip it. Prefer 15 pips at 2.92 lots so a 12-pip noise bar is not a full stop.
