How it works
Position size = (account × risk %) ÷ stop distance. The example above uses a real Signava signal (KERNEL/USDT, entry 0.0537, stop 0.0514): risking 1% of $1,000 means buying about $233 of the coin. If the position is bigger than your account, you'd need leverage on futures — the last line shows how much.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate position size in crypto?
Position size = amount you're willing to lose ÷ distance from entry to stop loss (as a %). Risking $10 with a 5% stop gives a $200 position.
What percentage should I risk per trade?
Many traders risk 0.5–2% of their account per trade.
