Frequently Asked Questions
What is position sizing?
Position sizing is deciding how many shares or units to buy based on your account size and how much you're willing to risk, so a stop-loss hit only costs a known, acceptable percentage of your account.
How much should I risk per trade?
Many traders risk 1-2% of their account per trade for a conservative approach, 2-3% for a moderate approach, and 3-5% for an aggressive approach. The calculator lets you set your own risk percentage.
What is a good risk-reward ratio?
A risk-reward ratio above 1:2 (risking $1 to potentially make $2 or more) is generally considered good. The calculator shows this automatically when you enter a target price.
