Why this tool is different

Calculate a maximum position size from portfolio value, risk percentage, entry price and stop price. OpenFileTools exposes the inputs, formulas and scenario effects so the estimate remains auditable.

Requirements and recommendations

Model the decision with explicit assumptions

  • Enter realistic assumptions instead of best-case values.
  • Use the scenario lab to see which assumption changes the result most.
  • Verify taxes, rates, fees, legal rules and market inputs from authoritative sources before making a real decision.
How OpenFileTools processes it

Local processing, explicit choices.

The browser evaluates the published calculation from your inputs and recomputes a bounded sensitivity range around the selected scenario variable. No external market feed or hidden scoring service is called.
