GU 1 lot pip value = $10

GU 0.04 lot pip value = $0.4

$3 / 0.4 = 7.5pips

That's the kind of little algebraic exercises you need to be able to do yourself. That's important for you money management. You won't always have someone to tell you the answer.

I want to open a position in USD/ZAR. My SL is 350 pips. The spread is 19.9 pips. I want to risk 147€. How many lots shall I open?
No greed. No fear. Just maths.
