Capital at risk determines my position size on a trade. If my trading account is 25K and I risk 0.20% then capital at risk is $50.00 My position size is determined by dividing my risk (entry price – stop price) into my risk capital. For the above example if my entry price is $10.00 and my stop is $9.50 my risk = $0.50 If my risk capital is $50.00 then I buy ($50/$0.50) 100 shares. Here are today’s trades: FMC; Buy @ 55.85 Stop = 54.95 Target = 59 Capital at risk = 0.20% HAIN: Buy @ 64.30 Stop = 62.9 Capital at risk = 0.20%
