Frequently Asked Questions about the Risk Calculator

Everything you need to know to master risk management in prop trading

How do I configure my account in the calculator?

Enter your account size (10k to 300k$), max allowed drawdown (5-20%), and your daily loss limit (2-10%). These three parameters define your trading room according to your prop firm rules.

What risk percentage per trade is recommended?

The tool recommends 1-2% maximum per trade. The color code guides you: green (≤2%) for conservative management, yellow (2-3%) for moderate, and red (>3%) for risky. Most pro traders stay under 2%.

How to calculate my optimal position size?

The calculator automatically divides your risk amount by your stop loss distance. For example: with $1000 risk and a stop 2$ away, you get 500 units. Simple and precise.

How do I enter my trade details?

Enter your entry price, stop loss and take profit in the dedicated fields. The tool instantly calculates the distance in points, the risk/reward ratio, and adjusts position size accordingly.

What does the displayed Risk/Reward ratio mean?

It's the ratio between your potential gain and maximum loss. A 1:2 ratio means you earn $2 for every $1 risked. The tool displays this ratio in real-time and recommends a minimum of 1:2.
