Tip: For forex, pip = 0.0001 (0.01 for JPY pairs). For stocks/crypto, outputs are in account currency.
How to Use the Position Size & Risk Calculator
Determine the optimal trade size and risk level for your strategy. Here’s how:
- Account Balance: Enter your total trading capital.
- Risk per Trade (%): The portion of your balance you’re willing to risk — typically 1–2%.
- Entry Price: The price where you plan to enter the trade.
- Stop Loss Price: The level where you’ll exit if the market moves against you.
- Leverage: Adjust exposure. Leave at 1x for no leverage.
After you fill all fields and click Calculate, you’ll see:
- Your dollar risk and risk per unit
- Recommended position size in units
- Required margin based on leverage
- A sample 1:2 risk/reward target for reference
Tip: Risk management builds consistency — protect your capital first, profits follow.
