How it works

How serious IBKR traders size positions

01

Define risk

Set your account size and the percentage of capital you're willing to lose on this trade. Most professional traders cap at 1-2% per position.

02

Mark levels

Enter your planned entry, stop loss, and (optionally) take profit. The calculator handles pip/tick math automatically per asset class.

03

Size the position

You get the exact shares, contracts, or lots — plus R:R ratio, notional exposure, and a visual risk profile across multiple scenarios.
