A long entered at $40,000 with a 5% stop will trigger near $38,000. On a $10,000 position, that implies a loss of about $500.

Load an example or enter your own values to calculate.

How it works

Provide entry, stop distance or stop price, and position size. The calculator outputs risk per trade in dollars and percent.

Formula

Risk ($) = Position Size × (Entry − Stop) for longs. Risk % = Risk ÷ Account Balance × 100.

Example

If you enter at $1,200 with a stop at $1,140 and a $5,000 position, risk = $5,000 × (1,200−1,140)/1,200 ≈ $250.

Tips

  • Set risk per trade (e.g., 1%) before choosing position size.
  • Place stops where the setup is invalidated, not just at round numbers.
  • Recheck stops after big volatility shifts.

FAQ

What percent should I risk?

Commonly 0.5–2% per trade depending on experience and volatility.

Do I move my stop?

Trail stops only if the setup improves and you lock profit; avoid widening stops.

Can I use this for futures?

Yes. Ensure size and leverage align with your risk cap and liquidation buffer.

Should stops be visible?

On some venues, hidden or alert-based exits can reduce stop hunts; weigh execution certainty.
