KovaView · Position Sizing

Size the trade before you place it

Turn a ticker, account total, target position weight, entry price, and stop price into a whole-share plan. KovaView shows the position value and estimated risk before the order.

The free preview includes Calculator access for the Mag 7 plus GOOG. Quotes, stops, and outputs depend on the available market data and the values you enter.

Plan from account weight

Planned shares equal account total multiplied by target position weight, divided by entry price, then rounded down to whole shares.

See the stop risk

When the stop is below entry, estimated risk equals shares multiplied by the distance from entry to stop. The calculator also shows that risk as a percentage of the account. This assumes an exit at the entered stop; gaps, slippage, and fees can change the realized loss.

Compare with a 1% budget

A reverse calculation shows the maximum whole shares for a 1% account-risk budget, so you can compare position weight with stop-based risk before deciding. The 1% value is a calculation reference, not a recommended risk setting.

From setup to share count

01

Load the ticker

Enter a supported ticker to load its quote. The entry field starts from the latest available price and remains editable.

02

Set the account and target

Enter the account total and choose the percentage of the account intended for this position. The calculator keeps the percentage and dollar amount in sync.

03

Define entry and stop

Confirm the entry and enter a stop below it for a long trade. The stop makes the dollar-risk and account-risk estimates available.

04

Read the whole plan

Review planned shares, position value, actual account weight, estimated loss at the stop, and the separate 1% risk-budget share limit before acting.
