Frequently asked questions
How is position size calculated?
Risk amount = account × risk%. Units = risk amount ÷ |entry − stop|. That keeps every trade sized to the same risk.
What risk percent should I use?
Many discretionary traders risk 0.25%–1% per idea. BuyNdSell does not give advice — pick a number you can survive.
