Members

In this lesson
Size any trade with one formula, set stops and targets, and know the win rate a plan needs to break even.
Key takeaways
- Decide the dollar risk first (e.g. 1% of the account).
- Position size = dollar risk ÷ stop distance per unit.
- Set targets so reward is at least 2× the risk.
- Break-even win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + reward:risk): 50% at 1:1, 33% at 2:1, 25% at 3:1 (before fees).
