Worked example
A $10,000 account, risking 1%, can lose $100. An entry of $100 and a stop at $95 is $5 of risk per coin, so the size is 20 coins, a notional of $2,000.
FAQ
- What is the size?
- The risk amount divided by the distance from entry to stop. That is how many units you can hold before a stop-out costs the risk amount.
- Does this place an order?
- No. It does not connect to an exchange.
- What if the stop is above the entry?
- The distance is the absolute gap, so a short uses the same size maths.
