Defaults are a labeled hypothetical: $1,000 balance, 1% risk, $100 entry, $98 stop, 0.055% fee on each fill and 1x leverage. Replace them with your own numbers.

Entry notional $474.18 · margin at 1x about $474.18. Notional is the position's size, margin is the collateral locked, and neither is the amount you planned to lose.

FAQ

How is position size calculated with fees?

Units = risk budget ÷ (|entry − stop| + entry × opening fee + stop × closing fee). With a $1,000 balance, 1% risk, a $100 entry, a $98 stop and 0.055% per fill, that is about 4.7418 units: about $9.48 of price loss plus about $0.52 of fees, or $10.00 in total.

Does leverage change how much I can lose?

Not in this calculation. The risk budget and the stop set the position size. Leverage only changes the margin locked for that position. Higher leverage moves the liquidation price closer, which this tool does not model.

Why can my real loss be bigger than the planned loss?

A stop is an order, not a guarantee. Slippage, spread, price gaps, partial fills, funding, liquidation and maintenance-margin rules, mark-price triggers and tax are all outside this estimate.

Which fee should I enter?

The rate your own account shows for that exact product and order type. A stop that executes as a market order is usually charged the taker rate. The 0.055% default is a hypothetical example.
