How it is calculated
- Loss if stop is hit = balance × risk % ÷ 100
- Position size = loss if stop is hit ÷ |entry − stop|
- Position value = size × entry; margin needed = value ÷ leverage
Worked example
Risking 1% of 1,000 USDT on a long at 100 with the stop at 95.
| You enter | |
|---|---|
| Account balance | 1,000 USDT |
| Risk per trade | 1 % |
| Entry price | 100 |
| Stop-loss price | 95 |
| Leverage | 10 × |
| You get | |
| Position size (coins) | 2 |
| Position value | 200 USDT |
| Margin needed | 20 USDT |
| Loss if stop is hit | 10 USDT |
| Direction | Long (stop below entry) |
Questions
Why does leverage not change the size?
Your loss at the stop depends only on size and distance to the stop. Leverage only changes how much margin is locked. Check your liquidation price is beyond the stop.
