How large should a position be for a single contract trade?
For example: with 10,000 USDT in total funds, a maximum loss of 1% per trade (100 USDT), and a stop-loss distance of 2%, the position’s notional value would be about 5,000 USDT.
Set your stop-loss first, then work backward from the loss you can afford to determine your position size. This keeps the cost of each loss within a range you’ve set in advance.
A quick market check: $BTC is at 82,964.01 (24h -0.13%).
Don’t trade with borrowed money—the pressure can push you into making bad decisions.
