Stop loss below the low of February 13, 2024 at $111.90
If you want a firmly defined risk, for example 1% of the portfolio, the purchased position must be calculated. The risk is the maximum amount of money that can be lost if the position is sold at the stop loss level. Here is an example with 1% risk and a portfolio with $10,000
- First, the risk is calculated as 1% of the portfolio: $10,000 x 1/100 = $100
- The difference between entry and stop loss is calculated; for this we take the values from the ETF example above $119.82 – $€111.90 = $7.92
- To get the number of shares that need to be purchased, the risk ($100) is divided by the difference just calculated ($7.92): $100 / $7.92 = 12.6 rounded down to 12 shares.
- The size of the position is 12 shares or 12 x $119.82 = $1437.84
This calculation can be done with any ETF or other trading product in any currency.
