Formula
Risk amount = account size times risk percent. Position units = risk amount divided by absolute entry-stop distance. This is a risk math tool, not trading advice.
Estimate position size from account size, risk percent, entry price and stop price.

The calculator turns account risk into a position size by comparing entry price with stop price. A wider stop usually means fewer units for the same risk.
If the account risk is 100 and the entry-stop distance is 5 per unit, the position size is 20 units before fees and slippage.
Do not set risk from the position value alone. Risk depends on how far the exit point is from the entry price.
