Sized it? Now find out if you followed the plan

Position sizing only works if you stick to it. Log the trade you just sized in a free note500 account — it tracks your real risk per trade, your R-multiples on exits, and flags when you're sizing up after a loss (the tilt that quietly wrecks accounts).

This calculator is a planning aid, not financial advice, and makes no allowance for slippage, commissions, gaps or assignment. Everything is computed in your browser; no inputs are stored or transmitted. Confirm contract multipliers with your broker — futures point values and option multipliers vary by product.
