Size the position before you take it
The risk calculator turns 'how many contracts?' into arithmetic: set your account risk percentage, enter your stop, and get the exact size — every trade, same risk.
Position sizing is the edge most traders skip
Two traders can take identical entries and end the year in opposite halves of the P&L distribution purely on sizing. Risking a fixed 1% per trade means a normal losing streak of five trades costs about 5% of the account — recoverable. Improvised sizing means one emotional oversize can erase a month.
The maths of drawdown is brutal and worth knowing: lose 20% and you need +25% to get back; lose 50% and you need +100%. Fixed-fractional sizing exists to keep you off that curve.
From stop distance to exact size, instantly
The calculation is simple but tedious under pressure: account size × risk % ÷ stop distance, converted through tick or pip value for your instrument. The calculator does it instantly and shows the R-multiple of your target at the same time — so a sub-1R trade is exposed before you take it, not after.
Your risk percentage and account details are saved, so pre-trade sizing becomes a two-field habit: entry, stop, done.
