Why Position Sizing Matters

Position sizing is one of the most critical aspects of risk management. Trading too large risks blowing your account on a single bad trade, while trading too small leaves potential returns on the table.

Most professional traders risk between 0.5% and 2% of their account per trade. This calculator helps you translate that percentage into an exact position size based on your stop loss distance.
