What is Position Sizing?

Position sizing refers to the number of units (shares, lots, coins) you invest in a specific trade. It is the most critical component of risk management.

The 1% Rule

Professional traders suggest never risking more than 1% to 2% of your total trading capital on a single trade. This ensures that even a string of losses won't wipe out your account.

How is it Calculated?

The formula used in this tool is:

Position Size = (Total Capital × Risk %) / Distance to Stop Loss

Example: If you have ₹1,00,000 capital and want to risk 1% (₹1,000), and your Stop Loss is ₹10 away from entry, you should buy 100 shares (1000 / 10).
