Position Sizing
How many shares to buy given account size, stop distance and max risk per trade.
Position sizing converts your risk budget (e.g. 1% of capital) and stop distance into a share quantity. Getting this right matters more than entry timing for long-term survival.
Swing Edge's free /tools/position-sizing calculator uses scanner-derived pivots and stops where available, with fixed-fractional risk caps and R-multiple targets.
