CFD Position Size Calculator
Decide your risk first, then let the math decide your lot size. Enter your account balance, the percentage you are willing to risk, and your stop-loss — the calculator returns the largest position that keeps your loss within that risk.
Enter an entry price and a different stop-loss price to see your position size.
Estimate only: position size is rounded down to 0.01 lots and conversion uses the entry price for USD-base pairs. Your broker's contract size, tick value and margin rules prevail. Trading leveraged CFDs carries a high risk of losing money.
How position sizing works
Professional traders fix the amount they can lose before they think about what they can win. The formula is simple: lot size = (balance × risk %) ÷ (stop distance × tick value). A wider stop-loss means a smaller position; a tighter stop allows a larger one — the money at risk stays constant either way.
SignalEdgeX applies this automatically: every signal comes with the stop-loss, targets and risk-reward already validated, and the built-in simulator sizes the position from your chosen risk profile.
