How It Works

Position sizing is the most critical aspect of risk management. It answers the question: how many units should I trade? The answer depends on your account size, the percentage you are willing to risk, and your stop loss distance. A proper position size ensures that even if your trade hits the stop loss, you only lose your predetermined risk amount. This calculator computes the optimal position size in lots and units, helping you maintain consistent risk across all trades regardless of the currency pair or stop loss distance.
