Defaults are illustrative. Use one consistent currency.

THE RESULT

Choose your assumptions and calculate.

Model output, not a forecast. Read the assumptions below.

Risk budget = balance × risk %. Units = (risk budget − costs) ÷ (|entry − stop| × point value).

A 10,000 balance, a chosen 1% risk and a 5-point stop with point value 1 give 20 units before costs.

Compare the price distance to a stop and target for a long or short trade.

Calculate a long-position profit after separate buy and sell fees.

Find the weighted average entry of two purchases, including cash fees.
