FAQ
How is position size calculated?›
Position size is calculated by dividing your risk amount (account balance multiplied by your risk percentage) by the stop loss distance per unit. This ensures each trade risks only a fixed portion of your account.
What risk percentage should I use per trade?›
Most professional traders risk between 1% and 3% of their account per trade. A common guideline is the 2% rule, which limits risk to 2% of your total account balance on any single trade.
