Know exactly how many tokens to buy before you enter a trade, so you control how much one bad call can cost you.
Position sizing starts with how much you're willing to lose, not how much you want to make. Most traders risk 0.5% to 2% of their account on a single trade.
Tokens to buy = (account size × risk %) ÷ (entry price − stop-loss price)
Example: with a $10,000 account risking 1%, your planned loss at the stop price is $100. If you enter at $150 with a stop at $142, you lose $8 per token at the stop, so you buy 12.5 tokens. If the stop fills at $142, you lose $100, not your account. Fees and slippage can add to that, so size with some room to spare.
"R" is the amount you risk on a trade. A 2R target is the price where your profit equals twice your risk. Planning targets in R keeps your wins larger than your losses, which is how a strategy stays profitable even when fewer than half your trades win.
Yes. Enter a stop-loss above your entry price and the calculator treats the trade as a short, with targets below your entry.
