Three steps. No guessing.
Proper position sizing protects your account. Instead of guessing share count, you size every trade around a fixed dollar risk.
- 01
Set your risk
Pick a fixed percent of your account to risk per trade. Most disciplined traders stay in the 1–2% range.
- 02
Measure your stop
Stop distance is the difference between entry price and stop loss — your dollar risk per share.
- 03
Size the position
Divide total dollar risk by per-share stop distance. That number is how many shares you can buy.
