Calculate the right position size based on your risk tolerance.
Proper position sizing is one of the most important aspects of risk management. Trading too large can wipe out your account from a few bad trades, while trading too small means missing out on potential gains. The position calculator helps you find the right balance.
By risking a consistent percentage of your account on each trade (typically 1-2%), you protect yourself from large drawdowns while allowing your account to grow over time.
