Position Size Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the optimal number of futures contracts to trade based on:
- Your risk management rules - max drawdown and daily loss limits
- Market volatility - using ATR to set realistic stops
- Your profit targets - reward to risk ratio preferences
Adjust any parameter above and click "Calculate Position Size" to see your recommended trade size.
Pro Tip: The ATR Stop Distance multiplier lets you fine-tune your stops. Use 1.0x for tight stops based on recent volatility, or 1.25-1.5x for more breathing room to avoid getting stopped out by normal market noise.
