How is stop-loss calculated?
The result is calculated using the following formula:
Long SL = Entry − (Max Loss / Quantity) Short SL = Entry + (Max Loss / Quantity)
- Max Loss Amount = Balance × Risk% (or the flat amount)
- Stop Distance = Max Loss Amount / Quantity
- Stop Distance % = Stop Distance / Entry × 100
- Then size the ticket on the Position Size Calculator and check R:R.
Example Calculation
Long with ₹1,00,000, 1% risk, quantity 1:
- 1. Max loss = ₹1,000
- 2. Entry ₹50,000 → stop distance = ₹1,000 / 1 = ₹1,000
- 3. Stop-loss price = ₹50,000 − ₹1,000 = ₹49,000
- 4. Stop distance % = 2%
If quantity is 2 coins, the same ₹1,000 risk sits only ₹500 away — often too tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
View all →Decide the rupee amount you can lose (balance × risk%), divide by the coins you will trade, and subtract that distance from a long entry (add it on a short). That is the highest (or lowest) price that still respects the budget. Structure still has to make sense — a mathematically valid stop in the middle of a range will still get run.
Average True Range stops sit a multiple of recent volatility away from entry so noise is less likely to tag you. This page does not compute ATR; it only maps risk money onto a price. An ATR tool is on the roadmap. Until then, read ATR on the chart, convert that distance into rupees, and confirm it is ≤ your max loss.
A fixed stop is the invalidation you accepted at entry. A trailing stop ratchets with price to lock open profit. Trailers can improve average R but they also hand back more on whippy coins. Size the initial stop here; trail only after the trade is actually working.
Crypto gaps, liquidations, and 10% candles do not wait for you to 'see how it feels'. A pre-committed stop turns a thesis into a defined loss. Skip it and the only limit is your margin — which is how accounts go to zero. Bots on Algolingo can enforce that stop when you would not.
