Why Use a Position Size Calculator?
Professional risk management is the most important factor in long-term trading success. Using a position size calculator ensures you only risk a predetermined percentage of your trading account capital (e.g. 1% or 2%) on a single trade, regardless of where you set your stop loss level.
Formula Used
- Total Risk (USD):
Risk Amount = Account Balance × Risk % - Risk Per Coin (USD):
Risk Per Coin = Entry Price - Stop Loss Price - Position Size (Coins):
Position Size = Risk Amount / Risk Per Coin - Nominal Value (USD):
Nominal Value = Position Size × Entry Price
