Therefore, we'd want to apply roughly $100 to each of the four currency pairs. Lets assume we're looking at EURUSD, USDCHF, GBPUSD and USDJPY. For the two USD base currency pairs, the calculation is easy ($100 x 100 leverage = $10,000, or 10 micro-pips). For the other two currency pairs, it's almost as easy. Let's look at EURUSD for example. The current bid is around 1.30 (US$1.30 for each euro). The inverse of this is EUR$0.77 euro's for each USD. Since we want to open a position with an equivalent value of USD$10,000, we would multiply 0.77 times $10,000, which would give us a value of about EUR$7,700, or approximately 8 micro-lots. We would do the same with the GBPUSD, which would yield an initial position size of 5 micro-lots.

I think this would give us an approximately equal opening position size for all four currency pairs. Nobody will hurt my feelings if I'm off base here, but it seems logical to me...

Both systems www.freedomrocks.com and www.forexforsmarties.com calculate the ratios the same way-described by dcraig (look at #13).
Anyone who trades with them can do it manually and compare with their calculators-you get the same ratios.
Forex For Smarties calculates also additional limit orders forming a small grid. This maximizes your profit.

Attached is a sample order list from Forex For Smarties.
