How to Use This Calculator

📊 What is Position Sizing?

Position sizing determines how many contracts you should trade based on your account size and risk tolerance. Proper position sizing is crucial for long-term trading success and capital preservation.

⚠️ Risk Management

Professional traders typically risk 1-2% of their account per trade. This ensures that even a series of losses won't significantly damage your trading capital.

🎯 How It Works

The calculator divides your maximum risk amount by the risk per contract (distance from entry to stop loss). This gives you the optimal number of contracts to trade while staying within your risk limits.

💡 Pro Tips

  • • Never risk more than 2% on a single trade
  • • Always use a stop loss
  • • Verify margin requirements with your broker
  • • Consider market volatility when setting stops
