Lucky for you, BabyPips.com has the tools you need to answer this question... Just input your account currency, account balance, your risk percentage, the currency you want to trade, the price your sold/bought and your stop loss point (target close price).

If your equation for determining volume:

$risk / Stop pips(x10) = Volume

is similar to this one (which I think it is):

Position size = Risk, in dollars / [(Stop-loss, in pips) x (Pip-value, in dollars)]

Then you should follow the link provided below. You will find a very detailed explanation...
