How it's calculated

Position size = (Balance × Risk%) ÷ (Stop distance × $1 per $)

Example: sizing Ethereum the prop-firm way

On a $100,000 account risking 1% ($1,000) with an entry of 3,550 and a stop-loss at 3,450 (a 100 $ stop), the correct position size is 10 coins. This keeps every trade inside the prop firm's daily drawdown limit.

Risk management FAQ

Most prop firms force you to risk no more than 1% per trade, and many disciplined SMC and ICT traders use just 0.25%–0.5%. On a $100,000 funded account that means risking $250–$1,000 per trade. A fixed 1% rule survives losing streaks: after 10 losses in a row you are still down only ~10% and your daily drawdown limit is intact.
Use the formula: Position size = (Account Balance × Risk%) ÷ (Stop Distance × Dollar Value per Point). For NQ, each point is worth $20 per contract. With a $100,000 account risking 1% ($1,000) and a 50-point stop, you trade 1,000 ÷ (50 × 20) = 1 NQ contract. For MNQ (worth $2/point) the same setup allows 10 contracts.
The core SMC/ICT rule is simple: only trade when you can place your stop-loss beyond a structural level (order block, breaker, fair value gap, or liquidity pool). Never widen your stop to make a trade 'work' — instead reduce position size. If the stop distance grows, the contract count must shrink to keep your total risk fixed at 1% or less.
Prop firms typically enforce a 5% daily drawdown and a 6–10% maximum loss. Your position size must keep a single losing trade (your stop loss) comfortably inside the daily limit. For example, on a $100,000 account with a $5,000 daily limit, one trade risking 1% ($1,000) consumes only 20% of the daily buffer — leaving room for a few sequential losers without breaching.
Risking 1% ($100) on a $10,000 account with a 20-pip EUR/USD stop means: 100 ÷ (20 pips × $10 per pip per lot) = 0.5 standard lots. The exact number always depends on your stop distance — that is why you calculate the size after choosing your stop, never before.
