How to use this tool
Position Size Calculator sizes your trade so a stop-out loses only the risk % you choose — the standard risk-management formula used by professional traders.
How it works
- Set account balance and risk % (e.g. 1% = $100 risk on a $10,000 account).
- Enter entry and stop loss — the tool computes units, notional exposure and margin at your leverage.
- Optional take profit shows R/R, estimated profit and round-trip fees.
- Pick a symbol and click Load PEPS trade plan to pre-fill entry/stop from Trend Following or Breakout engines.
- The sensitivity table shows how position size scales from 0.25% to 3% risk on the same setup.
What to consider
- Formula: units = (account × risk%) / |entry − stop|. Slippage and partial fills are not modeled.
- High leverage reduces margin but not dollar risk at the stop — risk % is always on full notional move to stop.
- Fees are estimated as two one-way charges on notional (entry + exit). Adjust fee % for your exchange tier.
- PEPS trade-plan levels are model outputs — verify live price and liquidity before placing orders.
- Not financial advice — position sizing is a planning tool, not a guarantee of outcomes.
