How it works
The calculator uses 1 formula: contracts = dollar risk ÷ (stop in ticks × tick value). It always rounds down, so your real risk never goes over your limit.
Example: $200 risk with a 20-tick stop. On MNQ, 20 × $0.50 = $10 per contract, so 20 MNQ. On NQ, 20 × $5 = $100 per contract, so 2 NQ.
