Position sizing for futures — no more napkin math at the open.
Enter your dollar risk per trade plus entry and stop, and it returns risk in points/ticks, dollar risk per contract (using the symbol’s real point value), the number of contracts that fit your risk, and the R:R to your target.
Best for: Any futures contract; pre-trade sizing and discipline.

How to use it
Size every trade
Set your $ risk and stop distance; the “Contracts” figure is the largest position that keeps the trade within that risk.
Check the R:R
Add a target to see reward-to-risk instantly — skip setups that don’t clear your minimum.
Trust the point value
It reads the contract’s real point value, so ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, CL, GC all size correctly with no manual lookup.
Settings
- Risk per trade ($)The maximum dollars you’ll risk on the trade.
- Entry / Stop / TargetEntry (or current price), your stop, and an optional target for R:R.
- Table positionWhere the readout table sits on the chart.
