Adjust the position sizing

The following form will help you to determine the best size for your position. The system adjusts the size with the pair you trade, your equity, the entry and exit prices and, of course, the maximum risk per trade.

Depending of your account (equity, currency of the account) the pair you trade and the risk you accept on one trade the programm will calculate the exact position sizing you have to use for your trade.
Many brokers don't give the possibility to trade without fixed contract size (10k$, 50k$, 100k$...) it's the reason we add the number of contract you have to trade in a table. The risk and the leverage are updated for each case.

After each analysis I add a button "Position sizing" which calculate the size for the trade I propose. This will help you to fill the form.

The trade:
