How it works

Position sizing ensures you never risk more than a fixed percentage of your account on a single trade. The formula is: Position Size = Risk Amount / Stop Loss Distance. For example, with a $10,000 account risking 1%, your risk is $100. If your stop loss is $5 away from entry, you should trade 20 units.
