Size a crypto trade so a single loss never blows past the risk you are willing to take, the core discipline behind consistent trading. Enter your account balance, the percent of it you are willing to risk on this trade, your planned entry price and your stop loss price. The tool computes your dollar risk, the distance to your stop, and then the exact position size in both coins and dollars that keeps your loss at the stop equal to your chosen risk. This is how professional traders decide size, rather than guessing, because it ties every position back to a fixed fraction of the account. It works for longs and shorts as long as the stop is on the correct side of entry. All numbers are calculated live and entirely in your browser, so your account size and levels stay private.

How to use Crypto Position Size Calculator

  1. Enter your account size and risk percent per trade.
  2. Enter your entry price and stop loss price.
  3. Read the position size that caps your loss.

Frequently asked questions

How does it size a position?

It divides the dollar risk you allow, account size times risk percent, by the per unit loss from entry to stop loss, giving a size that caps your loss.

What does risk percent mean here?

It is the share of your account you are willing to lose on this one trade, often 1 or 2 percent, used to bound the position size.

Why is the stop loss required?

The distance from entry to stop defines your loss per unit. Without it there is no way to translate risk percent into a position size.
