About
Trading is fundamentally an exercise in probability management, not prediction. The primary reason retail traders fail is not a lack of winning trades, but poor Risk Management. A single uncontrolled loss can wipe out weeks of gains. This calculator is designed to strictly enforce mathematical discipline, ensuring you never risk more than your predetermined capital threshold (e.g., 1% or 2%).
Unlike basic calculators, this tool accounts for Asset Class nuances (Standard vs. JPY Forex pairs, Crypto decimals), incorporates Exchange Fees into the Net Profit calculation, and generates a Sensitivity Matrix. This matrix visualizes how slight adjustments in your Stop Loss price drastically alter your allowable Position Size, allowing for better strategic planning before execution.
Formulas
The core logic protects your account balance B by solving for Position Size S based on a fixed Risk Amount R.
Once the risk is defined, we calculate the allowable position size:
For the Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RR):
