Risk control
Risk calculator
This tool estimates how much of your capital is at risk at a chosen stop level. It is useful when you want numbers before emotion starts driving the decision.
Inputs
Scenario quality
A workable idea is not the one that might make money. It is the one where risk, position size, and exit logic are clear before you act.
What this means
What not to do
• Do not increase risk just because the idea feels obvious.
• Do not enter without a stop. Without it, position sizing loses most of its meaning.
• If capital usage comes out too large, reduce the position instead of pretending the risk is small.
Important
The calculations are there to clarify a scenario, not to create urgency. Start with logic and risk, then look at the numbers.
For a beginner, limiting possible damage matters more than chasing the largest theoretical upside.
This tool does not provide trading advice and does not replace your own responsibility for the decision.
