Crypto Position Size & Risk Calculator
Size a crypto position from account capital, risk budget, entry, stop, fees and optional leverage instead of guessing position size.
Risk-budget sizing
Size the position from the loss you are willing to model
Risk budget

Transparent sizing math
Risk budget = account × risk %. Risk per unit = entry-to-stop price distance + modeled entry and stop fees. Quantity = risk budget ÷ risk per unit. Leverage changes required margin, not the chosen risk budget.
Stop distance
3.16%
Risk per unit incl. fees
$3,187.00
Modeled loss at stop
$100.00
Stops and leverage are not guarantees.
Slippage, gaps, funding and exchange liquidation rules can make actual losses larger. The tool sizes a scenario; it does not recommend the risk percentage or leverage.
Export scenario
Practical workflow
Size the position from a user-defined loss budget.
Start with account capital and risk %, then calculate quantity, notional and margin from the entry-to-stop distance.
Crypto scope
Transparent calculations, not predictions
FormatForge does not recommend tokens, predict prices or tell users to buy, sell, hold or use leverage. Results depend on user-entered assumptions and may omit exchange-, tax- or market-specific factors.
Frequently asked questions
How does the calculator choose position size?
It converts account risk percentage into a monetary risk budget, then divides that budget by modeled loss per unit between entry and stop including entered fees.
Does leverage increase the risk budget?
No. The selected risk budget stays the same. Leverage changes the margin required for the calculated notional exposure.
Can I size long and short trades?
Yes. Long and Short modes validate the stop direction and use the same transparent risk-budget framework.
Are fees included?
Yes. The entered per-order fee is included in modeled entry and stop costs.
Does this calculate liquidation price?
No. Liquidation depends on exchange-specific maintenance margin, collateral mode and contract rules.
Is the suggested risk percentage financial advice?
No. You choose the risk percentage. FormatForge only performs the arithmetic.
