First, a question: how large should a position be for a single contract?
A common way to calculate position size: position notional value ≈ total capital × risk percentage per trade ÷ stop-loss distance.
Risk per trade refers to the amount lost when a trade triggers its stop-loss, roughly equal to the position's notional value multiplied by the stop-loss distance as a percentage.
Before placing an order, think through three figures: the stop-loss level, how much you can lose on a single trade, and the position size derived from those figures.
