- Entry Price: The price where you plan to enter the trade.
- Stop Loss Price: The level where you’ll exit if the market moves against you.
- Leverage: Adjust exposure. Leave at 1x for no leverage.
After you fill all fields and click Calculate, you’ll see:
- Your dollar risk and risk per unit
- Recommended position size in units
- Required margin based on leverage
- A sample 1:2 risk/reward target for reference
Tip: Risk management builds consistency — protect your capital first, profits follow.
