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.
