Learn investing, trading and portfolio risk

These examples use hypothetical inputs. They explain a method, not what an investment will return or which trade you should take.
How do I calculate a position size?
Set a hypothetical loss budget and entry and exit prices. Include costs and see why a wider exit distance reduces the quantity. Actual losses can exceed the estimate.
Calculate position size and planned riskDo two ETFs hold the same companies?
Try the fictional holdings example, then compare your own dated lists. Shared holdings reveal one kind of concentration, not every source of portfolio risk.
