How this calculator works
01
Set the account balance, risk percentage, entry and stop prices, side, leverage, and estimated round-trip fee rate.
02
CoinCalcs validates the manual inputs and applies this published model: Position units = risk budget ÷ fee-adjusted loss per unit at the stop
03
The result is calculated locally in the browser and is not sent to CoinCalcs or a market-data provider.
Formula
The calculation
Position units = risk budget ÷ fee-adjusted loss per unit at the stopExample
A concrete scenario
A $10,000 account risking 1% with a $1,000 stop distance can risk $100 and hold 0.1 units before fee adjustments.

What this estimate cannot guarantee
- Stops can slip or fail to fill, and leverage changes margin requirements without guaranteeing the maximum loss.
- The result is only as current and accurate as the assumptions entered in the form.
- The output is educational scenario arithmetic, not financial, investment, tax, legal, or security advice.
