Stock market risk calculator and position size calculator
Understand what is Risk
Many people consider the stock market little more than gambling casinos. Today we explain what risk management is important and how to make decisions. The best decisions are made when we quantify numbers, determined the pattern of the past, and believe in an uncertain future. but the problem arises when how much people believed that the past will drive the future.
we cannot predict what will happen in the future because it is not predictable but if we use numbers and find out what happened in the past we are able to make future decisions based on numbers rather than on assumptions. why the skill of risk management is such a high-value skill? why we are trying to understand and measure the risk today? Gambling is very addictive because it put you face to face with your fates.
we play this game because we believe that we have very good luck. Many people believe that the stock market is like a gambling casino. Is making money in the stock market is the result of skill combined with luck or it is just luck?
If everything depends on luck then risk management is useless. When we say he was unlucky we free the person from the mistake he had done in the past which lead to unhappy outcomes. When we say he was lucky we deny the person's efforts which led to the happy outcome.

Hi ,
ReplyDeleteI have a problem calculating the position size.
Account size = 1,00,000
Risk = 1%
Amount in risk = 1,000
Short :
Entry = 1029
Stop loss at = 1032
The difference between the Entry and Stop loss is 3 rupeese.
1000/3 = 333.33
Now if I multiply that with the price of the stock it gives me .
333 * 1029 = 3,43,000
WHICH EXCEEDS MY TOTAL CAPITAL.. !!
how is this possible and how can I calculate my position size in this case ?
Please Help .
Lets say you have 100000. Stock support level is 258. You entered at 258 as entry point or buy price. Your stock loss is 255. Max loss is 1162. You can purchase total 387 shares and selling price is 267 and profit is 3488.
