Crypto Position Size Calculator

Estimate position size from account size, risk percent, entry price and stop price.

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.

How position sizing works

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.

Example

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.

Common mistake

Do not set risk from the position value alone. Risk depends on how far the exit point is from the entry price.
