Position Sizing Calculator

Work out trade size from account risk, entry price, and stop-loss distance before the trade starts.

Desk Rule Risk first. Size second.

Position size = account risk divided by stop-loss distance.

Inputs

Calculate before entry

Use your planned stop. If the stop is too wide, the size should reduce.

How I Use It

Size should come from risk, not confidence.

This calculator is a simple pre-trade check. I want the loss defined first, then the size. That keeps one trade from becoming bigger than the plan.
