Calculateur de la taille des positions en actions et en devises
Trade like a risk manager, not a gambler. This position size calculator turns your account balance and risk tolerance into the exact number of shares, forex lots, or crypto units to buy — so a single losing trade can never blow up your account. Enter your entry price, stop-loss, and an optional take-profit and the tool recalculates instantly, showing your max dollar risk, potential profit, and risk-to-reward ratio.
Comment utiliser
- Choisir un mode : Stocks, Forex, ou Crypto.
- Enter your account balance and select your account currency.
- Choose whether to risk a percentage (recommended: 1-2% per trade) or a fixed amount.
- For forex trades, pick a pair preset (EUR/USD, USD/JPY, etc.) to auto-fill pip size and pip value, or enter custom values.
- Enter your entry price et stop-loss price.
- Optionally add a take-profit price to see risk:reward, potential profit, and the break-even win rate.
- Read your position size in the summary — that is the maximum trade size that respects your risk limit.

Who This Is For
Day traders, swing traders, and active investors managing their own risk. Especially useful for newer traders who want a repeatable sizing rule, and for forex traders who hate doing pip-to-dollar math by hand on every setup.
FAQ
-
What is the 1% rule in trading?
The 1% rule says you should never risk more than 1% of your total account balance on a single trade. If your account is $10,000, the most you should lose if your stop-loss is hit is $100. Position sizing turns that risk limit into the number of shares, lots, or coins you can actually buy.
-
Why is risk:reward more important than win rate?
A high win rate looks impressive but loses money fast if losing trades are larger than winners. With a 1:2 risk:reward, you only need to be right about 34% of the time to break even. With 1:3, you only need 25%. Position sizing combined with a favorable R:R is how professionals stay profitable despite losing more trades than they win.
-
What is a pip in forex trading?
A pip (price interest point) is the smallest standardized price move in a currency pair. For most pairs it is 0.0001 (the fourth decimal). For JPY-quoted pairs like USD/JPY it is 0.01 (the second decimal). Pip value depends on lot size: on a standard lot (100,000 units) of a USD-quoted pair, one pip is worth $10.
-
How are forex lots structured?
Standard lot = 100,000 units of the base currency. Mini lot = 10,000 units. Micro lot = 1,000 units. Nano lot = 100 units. Retail traders most often use mini or micro lots so that single-pip moves represent small dollar amounts that fit within reasonable risk limits.
-
What is the Kelly criterion and how does it relate to position sizing?
The Kelly criterion is a formula for the optimal fraction of capital to risk per bet, given a known edge and payoff ratio. In trading, full Kelly is usually too aggressive because edge and payoffs are estimates, so most traders use a fraction (half-Kelly or less). Fixed-percent sizing like 1-2% per trade is a simple, conservative approximation of fractional Kelly.
