FAQ
Is this financial advice?
No. The result is a mathematical estimate based on your inputs, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
Is my account data uploaded?
No. Calculations run locally in your browser, and your account size, entry, and stop-loss data are not uploaded.
Can I use it for crypto and stocks?
Yes. If the asset has an entry price and stop-loss price, the calculator can estimate generic position size.
Why does stop-loss distance matter?
A wider stop means each unit risks more, so the position size gets smaller for the same risk amount.
Can it calculate forex lot size?
Not in the first version. Forex lot sizing needs pair-specific pip value and account-currency logic.
