Professional traders typically risk 1-2% per trade. Never risk more than 5% of your portfolio on a single position. This tool is for educational purposes only.
Why Position Sizing Matters
Position sizing is the process of determining how much capital to allocate to a single trade based on your risk tolerance and stop-loss distance. The golden rule: risk only 1-2% of your total portfolio per trade. This means even a 10-loss streak only reduces your portfolio by 10-18%, keeping you in the game.
The formula is simple: Position Size = (Account Size × Risk %) ÷ Stop Loss Distance. A trader with $10,000 risking 2% with a 5% stop loss should enter a $4,000 position — not their full account.
