FAQ
Common questions about this tool, from basics to usage.
Why use position sizing?Answer
It keeps your risk per trade consistent, even when volatility or price levels change.
What inputs are required?Answer
Enter your risk per trade, entry price, and stop price. The tool converts that risk into a trade size.
How does leverage affect position size?Answer
Leverage changes the margin you need, not the risk. The position size should still be based on your stop distance.
How it works
Position sizing turns your risk budget into a precise quantity. Divide the maximum loss you accept by the stop distance to get the tradable size. This keeps risk consistent across markets and timeframes.
Example
Risking $100 with a $2,000 stop distance yields 0.05 BTC. Multiply by entry to see the notional size.
