UNDERSTAND THE CALCULATION

A position size built from the risk you choose

For quick sizing, choose the instrument, enter the maximum accepted loss and define the stop distance. The full analysis can instead derive the loss budget from equity and a risk percentage. TradeSizing never rounds the result up.

The calculation can also account for commission, slippage, spread, drawdown, daily loss limits, portfolio risk and available margin.
