How this calculator works

Choose an account balance, the percent you are willing to risk, an entry price and a stop-loss price. BotLab estimates the maximum money at risk and the approximate position size based on the distance between entry and stop-loss.

Enter the values, then press Calculate Risk to see the estimate.

Educational estimate only. Live markets may include slippage, fees, gaps and execution differences.
