Practical trading plan
With position checker
Write down the maximum loss you are willing to bear, then back‑solve the maximum integer position. The tool does not provide instruments, direction or prices; all inputs are computed locally in the current browser.
Risk first, position second.Include slippage and costs in the stop‑loss budget.
Pre‑trade plan
Create a trade assumption
This is an upper‑limit assumption; it does not mean actual losses will necessarily be limited to this number.
Spot is typically 1; for futures please verify the contract multiplier yourself.
Enter your trading assumptions for immediate calculation; the page does not fetch any market quotes.
Formula:Loss tolerance ＝ account equity × risk %; per‑unit risk ＝ stop price difference × multiplier ＋ variable costs; max whole units ＝ floor（（loss tolerance − fixed cost）÷ per‑unit risk）。

Model limitations:This is a pre‑trade simplified risk check and does not determine whether an instrument is worth trading. It excludes gaps, partial fills, liquidity impact, margin calls, taxes/fees, borrow costs and actual fill probabilities; futures, options and leveraged products require separate verification of contract specs.
