Investment Calculator &
Trading Journal for
Risk-Aware Traders
calc-rich.xyz is a web app built for traders who want to manage risk and review real decision patterns—beyond simple profit projections. Most trading losses are not caused by “bad predictions” but by inconsistent position sizing, excessive leverage, emotional re-entries, and broken exit rules.
This tool connects calculations with journaling so you can evaluate how your risk settings translate into actual outcomes.
With this app, you can:
- Estimate position size based on your risk limit and stop level
- Simulate profit and loss under different leverage assumptions
- Log trades to review metrics such as win rate, PnL distribution, and losing streaks
* Not financial advice. For educational analysis only.

About Risk Management
What is this calculator?
The Position Size & Risk Calculator is an essential utility for disciplined trading. It helps you determine exactly how much capital to deploy and what leverage to use based on your predefined risk tolerance. By calculating your position size relative to your stop loss, you ensure that a losing trade never wipes out more than a specific percentage of your account.
When to use it?
Use this tool before every single trade execution. Whether you are scalping, swing trading, or investing, knowing your invalidation point (Stop Loss) and adjusting your position size accordingly is the single most important factor in long-term survival and profitability.
The Formula
Position Size = (Account * Risk%) / StopDist%
- Risk Amount: The max $ you are willing to lose.
- Stop Distance: The % move against you that triggers exit.
- Position Size: The total value of assets to buy/short.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended risk per trade?
Professional traders typically risk between 1% to 2% of their total account balance on any single trade. aggressive traders might go up to 5%, but this increases ruin risk significantly.
How does leverage impact risk?
Leverage increases your buying power but does not change your dollar risk if you size correctly. However, higher leverage reduces the distance to your liquidation price, effectively tightening your maximum stop loss width.
Difference between Margin and Position Size?
Position Size is the total value of the trade. Margin is the actual collateral from your specific balance required to open that position (Position Size / Leverage).
About Compound Interest
What is this calculator?
The Compound Interest Simulator is a powerful financial tool designed to visualize how your initial capital grows over time when earnings are reinvested. Unlike simple interest, which is calculated only on the principal amount, compound interest is calculated on the principal plus the accumulated interest. This "interest on interest" effect is the key to exponential wealth growth in trading and investing.
When to use it?
Use this simulator when planning long-term investment strategies, setting portfolio goals, or understanding the impact of consistent returns. Whether you are a day trader looking at daily compounding effects or a long-term investor planning for retirement, this tool helps you set realistic expectations and see the magic of consistency.
The Formula
A = P(1 + r)^t
- A: Final Amount
- P: Principal (Initial Capital)
- r: Growth Rate per Period
- t: Number of Periods
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is compound interest powerful?
It accelerates asset growth because you earn returns on your past returns. Over long periods, this exponential curve significantly outperforms linear growth.
Does this account for inflation?
No, this simulator calculates nominal growth. To account for purchasing power, you would need to subtract the inflation rate from your expected growth rate.
What is a realistic daily growth rate?
For day trading, 1% daily is often cited as a goal, but it is extremely difficult to sustain risk-free. Always consider the risks of drawdown alongside potential growth.
