How big can your position be?

Most accounts, live or prop, are lost to oversized losing days, not to bad entries. Works for futures, forex, stocks and ETFs, on a live broker account or a prop account: enter your daily loss limit (your own or your firm's), how much of it you risk per trade and the stop, and see the size that keeps you in the game.

Max contracts

4

Risk per contract$60
Risk on this trade$240
Budget per trade$250
Full losses before limit4

Fits your rules. You can take four full losses before the daily limit.

Size = budget ÷ (stop × $ per point), rounded down.

Why traders switch

Built on real risk, not screenshots

A typical signal group

  • Entry only, the stop comes later or never
  • Winning screenshots, losers quietly deleted
  • Sized for someone else's account
  • Trades straight through CPI and FOMC
  • $99 to $299 a month from day one

Daily Trade Ideas

  • Entry, stop and two targets in every post
  • Every result public, measured in R
  • Dollar risk per micro, checked against your daily limit
  • News blackout flags on every idea
  • Free while the track record builds

Who's behind it

Every idea starts with risk

Sotirios Kazampakas
2018

I'm Sotirios Kazampakas. I've traded futures, options, forex and stocks since 1987. I managed a €10m+ portfolio as a fund manager, co-founded the StockWatch trading signals service (2010–2020) and was Group Head of Risk at the broker Zenfinex.

That's why every idea here starts with risk: entry, stop, targets and exactly how much you can lose. Experience isn't a promise, so every idea on this site is tracked from day one, wins and losses, in public.
