What is this tool?
Position Size Calculator sizes your trade so a stop-out loses only the risk % you choose — the standard risk-management formula used by professional traders.
Set account balance and risk % (e.g. 1% = $100 risk on a $10,000 account).
Enter entry and stop loss — the tool computes units, notional exposure and margin at your leverage.
How to read the results
Enter entry and stop loss — the tool computes units, notional exposure and margin at your leverage.
Optional take profit shows R/R, estimated profit and round-trip fees.
Pick a symbol and click Load PEPS trade plan to pre-fill entry/stop from Trend Following or Breakout engines.
The sensitivity table shows how position size scales from 0.25% to 3% risk on the same setup.
Key signals and metrics

Advanced usage and combinations
Formula: units = (account × risk%) / |entry − stop|. Slippage and partial fills are not modeled.
High leverage reduces margin but not dollar risk at the stop — risk % is always on full notional move to stop.
Fees are estimated as two one-way charges on notional (entry + exit). Adjust fee % for your exchange tier.

- High leverage reduces margin but not dollar risk at the stop — risk % is always on full notional move to stop.
- Fees are estimated as two one-way charges on notional (entry + exit). Adjust fee % for your exchange tier.

Frequently asked questions
- How reliable are the signals from this tool?
- Treat every reading as a hypothesis. Strong setups usually agree across multiple rows, timeframes or linked PEPS engines — not from a single highlighted value alone.
- Is this tool suitable for beginners?
- Yes. Start with one symbol or one ranked row, read the labels and confirmation panels, then open linked tools before sizing a live position.
- How often is the data updated?
- Refresh cadence depends on the engine — many trading scanners update every few minutes; on-chain and mining feeds may run on hourly timers. Check the Updated timestamp on the tool page.
