RISK MANAGEMENT

Stop loss at purchase

Enter your capital, maximum loss, purchase price and quantity: Trade Math calculates the stop-loss price to set before the order, subtracting risk already committed by open positions.

Risk budget used in the calculation

The tool assumes execution may be slightly worse than the stop. Use 0 for no buffer.

All losses are converted into the account-capital currency using the rate entered for each position.

Open positions (optional)

If you already have open trades, add them with their current stops: their risk is automatically deducted. If you have none, leave this section empty.

Purchase you are about to make

Enter the purchase price and quantity. The stop loss is calculated automatically from the risk still available.

Leave 1 when the instrument and account capital use the same currency. For a USD instrument and EUR capital, enter how many EUR one USD is worth.
This is not required to calculate the stop. Enter it only if you want to compare a chart-based level with the stop allowed by your risk budget.

The result is a mathematical risk-budget stop based on your capital, not a technical chart level. A stop also does not guarantee the execution price: gaps, poor liquidity and fast moves can increase the actual loss.
