Enter a stop.
The calculator chooses the mathematically closest tradeable whole-contract size, with a minimum of 1 contract. Depending on the point value, that closest size can be above or below your risk goal. Compare the one-lower and one-higher options before deciding.
This is not financial advice, trading advice, or a recommendation to take any trade. It is just a sizing tool. Always double-check the math, your platform, your copier settings, your prop firm rules, and your own risk before entering a trade.
