- Quantity = money at risk ÷ distance from entry to stop.
- Position value = quantity × entry price; margin needed = position value ÷ leverage.
Questions
- Does leverage change how much I risk?
- No. With a fixed stop, your risk depends on size and stop distance. Leverage only changes the margin the exchange locks up.
- What risk per trade should I use?
- Many professional traders risk 0.5–1% per trade so that a long losing streak cannot destroy the account.
