Formula Used

Position Size Formula

The position size is calculated using the following formula:

Position Size = (Account Balance × Risk Percentage) / (Entry Price - Stop Loss Price)

Where:

Account Balance - Your total trading capital
Risk Percentage - Your risk tolerance (1% for low, 2% for medium, 3% for high)
Entry Price - The price at which you enter the trade
Stop Loss Price - The price at which you exit the trade to limit losses

This formula helps ensure that your position size is appropriate for your account size and risk tolerance. It also accounts for the potential price movement between your entry and stop-loss points.

Worked Example

Let's look at a practical example to understand how the Binance position calculator works.

Example Scenario

You have an account balance of $10,000, a medium risk tolerance (2%), an entry price of $50, and a stop-loss price of $48.

Using the formula:

Position Size = ($10,000 × 0.02) / ($50 - $48) = $200 / $2 = 100 shares

This means you should allocate 100 shares of the asset to your position. The calculator will also show you the potential risk per trade and maximum loss.

Input	Value
Account Balance	$10,000
Risk Tolerance	Medium (2%)
Entry Price	$50
Stop Loss Price	$48
Position Size	100 shares
Risk Per Trade	$400
Maximum Loss	$200
