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.
