How the position size calculator works

The calculator estimates the dollar risk per contract using the selected futures contract’s point value, tick value, stop distance, commission, and slippage. 

Risk per contract = stop distance × contract value + costs

Then it divides your allowed trade risk by the risk per contract: 

Max contracts = allowed risk ÷ risk per contract
