Position Sizing Calculator
Calculate optimal position size based on your capital, risk per trade (%), and stop-loss distance.
Quick Summary: Position Sizing Calculator
Position Sizing is the most critical part of risk management. This tool tells you exactly how many shares to buy so that you never lose more than your pre-defined risk limit (e.g., 1% of your total capital) if your stop-loss is hit. It prevents a single bad trade from wiping out your account.
