Risk Calculator
Know your size before you click buy.
Calculate the optimal position size for any trade — based on your account balance, risk tolerance, instrument, and stop loss. Trade with discipline, not emotion.
Your Position
LivePosition sizing is the #1 rule of survival.
More traders blow up from oversizing than from bad analysis. The math doesn't care about your conviction.
Survive Drawdowns
Risking 1% per trade lets you survive 10 losses in a row with only ~10% drawdown. At 5%, that same streak wipes 40% — and you need a 67% gain to recover.
Stay Disciplined
Predetermined position sizes remove the emotion from entry. You stop "feeling" trades and start executing a system — the only path to long-term consistency.
Compound Faster
Small, controlled risks let you stay in the game long enough for compounding to work. The traders still winning after 5 years all use fixed-% sizing.
Four rules our analysts swear by.
Plain-English habits that separate consistent traders from blown accounts.
The 1% Rule
Never risk more than 1% of account equity on a single trade. Beginners should start at 0.5%.
Cap Daily Risk
Stop trading after 3% lost in a day. Tomorrow's market will still be there — your capital might not be.
Mind Correlation
EUR/USD + GBP/USD long isn't two trades — it's one big position. Size accordingly.
Plan R:R Upfront
Aim for at least 1:2 risk/reward. You can be wrong 60% of the time and still come out ahead.
