How it works
Position sizing formula
Risk a fixed dollar amount per trade derived from your deposit and risk percentage. Divide that by the distance from entry to stop to get the position size. Fees are optionally added to the denominator so they don't eat into your risk budget.
Risk$ = Deposit × Risk%
Distance = |Entry − Stop|
Size = Risk$ ÷ (Distance + Entry × Fee + Stop × Fee)
Example: $10,000 deposit, 1% risk, entry $94,200, stop $93,000, Binance taker → Size ≈ 0.0834 BTC ($7,857 notional).
Risk per trade
Dollar risk at common settings
Most professional traders risk 0.5–2% per trade. Risking more than 3% per trade makes account recovery after a losing streak mathematically difficult.
