Risk Calculator for Trade (% Portfolio)
Trade Risk Calculator – Capital Management and Position Sizing
The Trade Risk Calculator (% Portfolio) is an essential tool for those engaged in trading or investment with active risk management.
It allows users to calculate how much capital to allocate to a single trade, based on the desired risk and the distance between the entry price and the Stop Loss.
How It Works
The user inputs:
- The total portfolio capital;
- The risk percentage per trade (e.g. 1%, 2%);
- The entry price;
- The Stop Loss level;
- (Optional) the reference currency.
The app calculates:
- The amount at risk in euros (capital × % risk);
- The Stop distance per unit (entry price – Stop Loss);
- The optimal position size in units;
- An automatic interpretation of the risk level.
Interpreting the Results
- ≤ 2% of the capital: contained risk, excellent portfolio management;
- 2–5%: moderate risk, acceptable for experienced traders;
- > 5%: high risk, a reduction in position is recommended.
The outcome also includes a color indicator (green, orange, or red) to highlight the quality of the set risk.
