Lesson of the week: Size from the stop, not from hope
Decide your stop-loss distance first, then calculate lot size from your fixed risk percentage. Never pick a lot size and hope the stop fits. Our free lot size calculator does the math.
Heading into a new trading week, re-check your risk plan: the prop firm calculator translates your firm's limits into a safe risk-per-trade, and the risk of ruin calculator shows the odds your current sizing survives a losing streak.
