Putting 1% of capital into a trade is not the same as risking 1%
Two trades with the same account balance but different stop distances should not use the same position size. The goal is to keep estimated stop-loss damage near the selected account-risk budget.
Always put 1% of capital into every trade
This ignores the distance between entry and stop loss. The actual loss can end up far above or below the intended risk.
Set the allowed loss first, then calculate position size
The tool defines the risk budget first, then uses stop-loss distance to calculate position value and quantity.

The risk percentage stays the same. Position size changes with the stop.
In this illustration, account balance is $10,000 and risk budget is 1%, or $100. A wider stop requires a smaller position.

Clear answers before you begin
Does risking 1% mean investing 1% of my account?
No. It means the estimated loss at stop loss is approximately 1% of account balance. The capital committed to the position depends on the distance between entry and stop loss.
What role does leverage play?
Leverage changes required margin and approximate liquidation distance. Position size should still be determined from the risk budget and stop-loss distance.
Can exchange fees be included?
Yes. The Professional version can include estimated entry and exit fees inside the risk budget.
Is the calculated loss guaranteed?
No. The result is an estimate. Slippage, fee changes and order execution can cause the realized result to differ.
Can I use it for Spot and Futures?
The core position-sizing logic works for both. Leverage, margin and liquidation features are mainly designed for leveraged trading.
What is limited in the Lite version?
Lite includes balance, risk percentage, entry, stop loss, quantity and position value. Leverage, fees, take profit, risk/reward and Trade Safety are unlocked in Professional.
