💡 Recommendations

✅ Your risk management settings are optimal for long-term success

⚠️ High Leverage Risk

Leverage above 5x significantly increases liquidation risk. Your stop loss should trigger before liquidation. Lower leverage = safer trading.

Why Use This Instead of the Other Calculators?

The Trading Calculators page answers a single-trade question: "How much should I risk on this one trade?" That's useful — but it's blind to everything else you have open. Risk Calculator Pro answers the harder question: "Given everything I already have on, can I afford to take this?"

  • ✅  P&L and fees after entry and exit
  • ✅  Liquidation price at a given leverage
  • ✗  No view of your other open positions
  • ✗  No cumulative risk tracking
  • ✗  No trade approve / reject verdict

Risk Calculator Pro ← you are here

  • ✅  Portfolio health across all open trades

How to Use Risk Calculator Pro

1

Set Your Portfolio Rules — Portfolio Overview Tab

Start in the Portfolio Overview tab. Enter your total account balance and choose a risk percentage per trade. 1%–1.5% is the professional range — at 1% you can absorb 100 consecutive losses before wiping out. Use the quick-select badges (🟢 1% / 🟡 1.5% / 🔴 2.5%) to apply presets instantly.

Example: £10,000 account at 1.5% risk = £150 maximum loss per trade, enforced automatically.
2

Log Your Current Open Positions

In the Open Positions card, enter how many trades you currently have open and the total dollars at risk across all of them. This is not your position sizes — it is the actual amount you stand to lose if every stop loss hits simultaneously.

How to calculate Total $ at Risk: For each open trade, multiply the position size by the stop loss percentage. Add them all up. Example: Trade A (£3,000 position, 3% SL) = £90. Trade B (£2,500 position, 5% SL) = £125. Total at risk = £215.
3

Read Your Portfolio Health Score

The status banner and metrics update instantly. Green means you have capacity to take new trades. Yellow means you're approaching your limits. Red means stop — adding another position would breach your risk rules. The Risk Exposure bar shows what percentage of your total allowed risk budget is currently committed.

4

Validate a New Trade — Trade Calculator Tab

Switch to the Trade Calculator tab. Enter your entry price, stop loss, direction, and take-profit target. With Auto Position Size enabled, the calculator sizes the trade so your maximum loss exactly matches your per-trade risk rule — no manual arithmetic, no guessing. You get an instant Approved or Rejected verdict.

The verdict checks three things automatically: (1) Does this trade breach your per-trade risk limit? (2) Is the risk:reward ratio worth taking? (3) Is the liquidation price dangerously close to entry? All three must pass for an Approved status.

After an approved trade: Note the "Current Trade Risk" figure shown above the metrics. Add this to your "Total $ at Risk" in the Portfolio Overview tab so the next validation reflects your new exposure.

Common Questions

What does "Total $ at Risk" mean and how do I work it out? +

Total $ at Risk is the sum of all your active stop loss amounts — the worst-case loss if every open position hits its stop at the same time. For each trade: multiply the position size by the stop loss percentage. Add all results together. This is different from your total position value. A £10,000 BTC position with a 2% stop loss has £200 at risk, not £10,000.

Why doesn't leverage change the risk per trade calculation? +

Leverage controls your position size and the margin you need to hold it — it does not change how much you lose if your stop hits. A properly placed stop loss closes the trade before liquidation. Your risk is always determined by your position size multiplied by the distance to your stop, regardless of leverage. What leverage does affect is your margin requirement and liquidation price — which is why the calculator shows both separately and warns you when liquidation gets dangerously close to entry.

What risk percentage per trade should I use? +

1%–2% is the professional range. At 1% risk per trade with five concurrent positions, your maximum portfolio drawdown in a worst-case wipeout of every position simultaneously is 5%. That leaves 95% of your capital intact to continue trading. Risking 3% or more compounds quickly — five open trades at 3% each puts 15% of your portfolio at risk in a single correlated market move, which is the kind of drawdown that psychologically destroys most traders.

When does a trade get rejected vs warned vs approved? +

Rejected means at least one rule is broken: risk exceeds 3% of portfolio, risk:reward is below 1.5:1, or liquidation price is within 20% of entry. Warning means the trade passes minimum criteria but is marginal — risk is between 2%–3%, R:R is below 2:1, or liquidation is within 33% of entry. Approved means the trade passes all three checks. You can still take a warned trade — but you should know why it's flagged before you do.

Does this calculator save my settings between sessions? +

Yes. Both tabs save automatically to your browser's local storage. Your portfolio settings, current open trades, and trade calculator inputs are all restored the next time you visit — no account or login required. Use the Reset buttons to clear settings back to defaults if you want to start fresh.

How does this differ from the Position Size Calculator on the Trading Calculators page? +

The Position Size Calculator gives you the correct size for one trade in isolation. It doesn't know about any other positions you hold. Risk Calculator Pro sits above it — it enforces portfolio-level discipline across multiple concurrent positions. Think of it as the gatekeeper: use this tool to check whether you're allowed to take a trade at all, then use the Position Size Calculator for detailed P&L and fee modelling on that specific entry.
