Contract Trading | What’s an appropriate position size for a futures trade?
A common way to calculate position size: Position notional value ≈ total capital × risk percentage per trade ÷ stop-loss distance.
Keep the risk per trade small enough, and your account will retain sufficient funds even after several consecutive losses. One or two mistakes won’t leave you badly shaken.
Here’s a live price: $BTC is quoted at 81415.18 (24h -1.27%).
Don’t use borrowed money to trade futures—the losses can add up faster than you expect.
