FAQ

Why size by risk?

Risk-based sizing keeps every trade's worst-case loss equal regardless of stop distance.

What is the 2% rule?

Risk no more than 2% of account on a single trade. Pro traders often use 0.5–1%.

Difference vs lot-size calc?

Same math, different framing: lot size returns lots; position size returns lots + units risked.
