The position sizing calculator (Plus) asks for:

  • Account size and max risk per trade (%). The form starts at 2%; this course uses 1%.
  • Direction: long or short.
  • Entry price and stop loss price. For a long the stop must be below entry, for a short above it, or it refuses to size.

There is an options mode too. This lesson sticks to shares.
