Leverage reference
—From the source sheet’s stop-loss bands.
This is a reference from the source spreadsheet, not a leverage suitability assessment. Leverage does not change the calculated position size.
One formula. A defined risk budget.
Position size = (Capital × Risk %) ÷ Stop-loss %
Enter valid inputs to see the calculation.
Risk and stop-loss percentages use the same units and cancel in this formula. Potential loss = position size × stop-loss % ÷ 100.
