Calculate how many shares you can take based on your risk.
Use this stock position size calculator to determine how many shares to buy based on your risk per trade and stop loss.
A stock position should be sized based on how much you are willing to lose if your stop loss is hit. This calculator helps you turn that risk limit into a share size.
If your stop is wider, your share size should be smaller. If your stop is tighter, your share size can be larger. That keeps your risk consistent from trade to trade.
