Risk Tools & Calculators

Practical tools to help you manage risk, size positions properly, and avoid costly trading mistakes.

Free trading calculators for risk management

These trading calculators are designed to help you manage risk before you enter a position. Use the liquidation calculator to estimate where leverage could become dangerous, and use the position size calculator to work out how many shares fit your stop loss and risk amount.

Traders often focus too much on entries and not enough on downside control. These tools help you plan trade size, stop distance and risk-reward more clearly before putting capital at risk.
