Still needed: account size, risk %, entry price, stop price
The money you are willing to lose is account size x risk %.
Each unit loses |entry - stop| if the stop is hit, so the size is risk amount / |entry - stop|.
Reward to risk is |target - entry| / |entry - stop|. If the stop sits below entry the trade is treated as a long, above entry as a short.
Slippage and gaps can make a real stop fill worse than the price you set, so the real loss can be larger.
Educational use only, not financial advice. This calculator works only from the numbers you type. It does not use live prices and it cannot predict what a market will do.
