How Much Leverage?
⁠
⁠

What

Leverage is for capital efficiency, not gambling
This page uses the average loss on a set of closed positions to determine what leverage you should use in order to have a specific number of trades open at the same time, with a specific portfolio risk in %.
After filling out the options and filters check out the What Leverage Should I Use? table.
Note:
This is based on your average loss, if your stop losses vary greatly it will be less accurate.

Example

A $1,000 portfolio
With an average loss of 2% on trades
I want to risk 1% of the portfolio on each trade ($10)
I want to have 10 trades open at once

The required size to risk $10 for an average 2% loss is $500
For 10 trades open at once, the total capital required is $500 x 10 = $5,000
For my $1,000 account, I would need to use 5x leverage to do this ($5,000 / $1,000)
