Frequently Asked Questions

What is position sizing in trading?▼
Position sizing determines how many shares or lots to buy in a trade based on your account size and risk tolerance. Proper position sizing ensures no single trade can significantly damage your portfolio.
What is the 2% rule in trading?▼
The 2% rule means you should never risk more than 2% of your total trading capital on a single trade. For a ₹5,00,000 account, maximum risk per trade would be ₹10,000.
How do you calculate position size with a stop loss?▼
Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ (Entry Price - Stop Loss Price). For example, if you risk ₹10,000 and your stop loss is ₹30 away from entry, position size = 10,000 ÷ 30 = 333 shares.
