【Position by Risk】 is a trading assistance feature that automatically calculates your order size based on the amount of loss you are willing to accept.

You only need to set the 【Stop Loss Exit Price】 and 【Loss Amount】, and the system will calculate the corresponding order size based on your inputs. This helps you estimate the potential risk of a trade before opening a position.

For example, if you want to limit the estimated loss on a trade to 20 USDT, set your Stop Loss Exit Price and enter 20 USDT as the Loss Amount. The system will then calculate the corresponding order size.

FAQ

Q: Why might my actual loss differ from the Loss Amount I set?

The 【Loss Amount】 is used to calculate the order size when you place the order. It is an estimate and does not guarantee that the actual loss will exactly match the amount you set.

During rapid market movements, factors such as slippage, the actual entry price, and the stop-loss execution price may cause the final loss to differ from the estimated result.

Final P&L is based on the actual execution results.
