Methodology
Risk calculation
Trade-risk tools convert a user-selected loss limit and stop relationship into a planned position or stop price.
Risk budget
Percentage risk equals account size multiplied by the selected percentage. Fixed risk uses the entered amount. Fixed fees are removed before dividing the remaining budget by adjusted per-share risk.
Execution assumptions
For long positions, estimated stop slippage moves the assumed exit below the planned stop. For short positions, it moves the assumed exit above the planned stop. Gap scenarios remain estimates, not execution guarantees.
Binding constraint
The position is the lower of risk-limited shares and capital-limited shares, then rounded down.
