How does the Position Size Calculator work?
Position sizing is one of the most critical aspects of risk management. This calculator determines how much of an asset you should buy or sell based on your account balance, acceptable risk percentage, and the distance to your stop loss.
For leveraged markets (crypto futures, forex), enter your leverage multiplier to see the adjusted position size. The calculator ensures you never risk more than your specified percentage per trade, regardless of leverage.
Risk $ = Account × Risk%
Position = Risk $ ÷ (|Entry − SL| ÷ Entry)
Units = Position × Leverage ÷ Entry
Position = Risk $ ÷ (|Entry − SL| ÷ Entry)
Units = Position × Leverage ÷ Entry
