THE TRADINGRESET.

A tool, not a trading signal

Size the position.
Respect the budget.

Enter your own assumptions. Estimate stop-based cash risk, allow for friction, and round down to the instrument’s unit increment.

Your assumptions

Account currency: USD

All cash values must be in USD, or in one consistently converted currency. No account connection. No data is sent.

Instrument & trading costs — check before using the result

Example settings: $1 per point, whole units, $0.20 fees per unit and 0.10 points slippage. Replace these with your instrument’s specifications; they are not live broker rates.

Instrument assumptions are included in this estimate. Open the settings above to check them.

This is an estimate, not a loss guarantee.

Gaps, insufficient liquidity and order mechanics can produce worse fills. The tool does not calculate margin, currency conversion or correlated exposure.

The calculation, in plain sight.

Budget = equity × risk percentage ÷ 100

Unit risk = (|entry − stop| + adverse slippage) × cash point value + round-trip fees

Size = floor((budget ÷ unit risk) ÷ unit increment) × unit increment

For a long position, the protective stop is normally below entry; for a short position, above it. The calculator uses absolute distance and does not decide trade direction. Cash-per-point must already match your instrument, unit definition and currency.
