Position size: planned risk versus actual loss
For a simple unleveraged share example, units × the distance from entry to a planned exit estimates price risk before fees. It does not cap the loss. Gaps, liquidity, currency, correlated positions and unavailable exits can change the outcome. Options and leveraged contracts require their own payoff and margin analysis; do not reuse the share calculation as a complete risk model.
Trading example
100 shares entered at 10 with a planned exit at 9.50 imply 50 before costs. An actual fill at 9 gives a loss of 100 before costs. This arithmetic is illustrative, not a suggested size or risk budget.
Try this in your journal
For three simulated scenarios, write planned loss, adverse fill, fees, currency effect and portfolio overlap. Use the exact instrument’s mechanics.
Check your understanding
Can you explain why the planned exit is not a guaranteed loss cap? Did you include other positions exposed to the same event?
