Ejemplo resuelto

A $25,000 account risking 1% puts $250 at risk. Entering at $48.00 with a stop at $45.00 is $3.00 of risk per share. $250 / $3.00 = 83 shares, costing $3,984 to hold.

Términos usados aquí

Stop loss (límite de pérdidas)

Un precio fijado de antemano en el que un inversor planea salir para limitar las pérdidas. Un nivel de referencia para la gestión del riesgo, no un consejo.

Preguntas frecuentes

How do you calculate position size?

Divide the amount you are willing to risk by the distance between your entry price and your stop-loss. If you risk $500 and your stop is $2 below entry, the position is 250 shares. The stop distance — not the account size — is what sets the share count.

What percentage should I risk per trade?

There is no universally correct number, and this is a personal decision rather than something a calculator can answer. Many published risk-management frameworks discuss 1-2% of account equity per position; the right figure depends on your circumstances, and you should consider speaking to a licensed financial adviser.

Does position size change if I move my stop-loss?

Yes, and that is the point. A wider stop means a larger loss per share, so holding your dollar risk constant requires fewer shares. A tighter stop allows more shares for the same risk.
