— Formula used
Contracts = maximum risk / (stop in ticks x tick value). The result is rounded down to avoid exceeding the stated risk.
If you accept 150 USD risk, your stop is 20 ticks and each tick is worth 5 USD, risk per contract is 100 USD. The calculator estimates 1 contract.
— Before using the result
- Verify the actual tick value of the instrument.
- Leave room for commissions and slippage.
- Use an internal limit below the firm limit.
- Do not increase size to recover losses.
