Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate position size for BTC?
Enter your account balance, risk percentage (recommended 1-2%), entry price, and stop loss. The calculator determines the optimal Bitcoin position size that limits your loss to your specified risk amount if stop loss is hit.
What is a good Risk/Reward ratio for BTC trades?
A minimum R/R of 1:2 is recommended for Bitcoin trading. This means your potential profit should be at least twice your potential loss. Higher R/R ratios (1:3 or better) are preferred for swing trades.
How does leverage work with BTC futures?
Leverage allows you to control a larger Bitcoin position with less capital. For example, 10x leverage means $100 controls $1,000 worth of BTC. Higher leverage increases both profit potential and liquidation risk.
What is the maximum leverage for BTC?
Maximum leverage varies by exchange. Bybit and Binance offer up to 125x for BTCUSDT perpetual contracts, but we recommend using 5-25x for sustainable trading.
How accurate is the BTC liquidation price calculation?
Our calculator provides an estimate based on standard maintenance margin rates (0.5%). Actual Bitcoin liquidation prices may vary slightly by exchange and your position size tier. Always verify with your trading platform.
