Fees and slippage are not included; a stop can fill at a worse price in fast markets.

How it works

Divide your maximum risk by the position size to get the allowed price distance, then subtract it (long) or add it (short).

Formula & methodology

Distance = Max risk ÷ Size
Long stop = Entry − Distance
Short stop = Entry + Distance

Illustrative example

2 units at $3,000, $150 risk

Distance $75 → long stop at $2,925 (2.5% below entry).
