How to calculate your lot size on Delta Exchange
1. Pick the contract and direction
Choose BTCUSD, ETHUSD or SOLUSD, then Long or Short. Lot size, tick and max leverage come from Delta India's published contract specs.
2. Set your capital and risk in ₹
Enter your capital and how much you are willing to lose on this trade — as a % of capital or a fixed rupee amount.
3. Enter entry and stop loss prices
Use USD prices as shown on Delta. Pick Maker or Taker for each leg; stop orders usually fill as taker.
4. Choose leverage and read the result
Leverage changes the margin, not the risk. The card shows the lots to open, the ₹ loss at your stop and a warning if the stop sits near liquidation.
Why fees and GST change your position size
Delta charges a fee on the notional of each leg — 0.05% as taker, 0.02% as maker — plus 18% GST on that fee. With a tight stop, those fees can be most of the loss.
Size the trade without them and a “risk ₹2,000” trade can lose more than three times that.
| Method | Lots | Loss at stop | × budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price only (no fees) | 470 | ₹6,710.42 | 3.36× |
| Fees + GST included | 140 | ₹1,998.85 | ≤ 1.00× |
Worked example: a tight stop on BTCUSD
Long BTCUSD, risk ₹2,000, entry 100,000 (taker), stop 99,950 (taker). One lot is 0.001 BTC, so each lot loses $0.050 on price and $0.118 on fees + GST at the stop. Sizing on price alone gives 470 lots and a ₹6,710.42 loss; with fees counted the answer is 140 lots and ₹1,998.85. We checked every one of these numbers against Delta's own fee calculator — see the methodology.

FAQ
How many lots should I trade on Delta Exchange?
Enough that a stop-out costs no more than your risk budget after fees and GST. Divide your ₹ budget by the loss of one lot at your stop — this calculator does that and rounds down.
What is 1 lot of BTCUSD, ETHUSD and SOLUSD on Delta Exchange India?
1 lot is 0.001 BTC on BTCUSD, 0.01 ETH on ETHUSD and 1 SOL on SOLUSD. At a BTC price of $100,000, one BTCUSD lot is worth $100, or ₹8,500.00 at Delta's ₹85/$ rate.
Does Delta Exchange charge GST on trading fees?
Yes. Delta Exchange India adds 18% GST on trading fees (and on liquidation fees). A 0.05% taker fee costs 0.059% once GST is added. This calculator includes GST on both the entry and the exit fee.
Why is my loss bigger than my risk when I trade near the stop?
Fees are charged on the full position value, not on the distance to your stop. With a tight stop the price loss per lot is small but the fees stay the same, so they become most of the loss. In the worked example above, ignoring fees gives 470 lots and a ₹6,710.42 loss on a ₹2,000 budget (3.36×).
Does leverage change how many lots I should open?
No. Your risk is set by the stop distance and the number of lots; leverage only changes how much margin you post. Higher leverage does bring liquidation closer, so the calculator warns you when your stop is near the estimated liquidation zone.
Which USD-INR rate does Delta Exchange India use?
A fixed rate of ₹85 per US dollar for display and conversion. Positions are margined and settled in USD.
Does this calculator include funding and slippage?
No. Funding payments, slippage and the settlement fee are not included: funding depends on how long you hold and slippage on market conditions. Leave some room in your budget for them.
