About the Creator
A Message from Carlos Duarte Junior
As a seasoned trader and financial educator, I created this advanced risk calculator to address a critical need I observed in the cryptocurrency trading community. Throughout my years of experience in the markets, I’ve witnessed many traders struggle with proper position sizing and risk management, particularly when dealing with leveraged trades.
Why I Created This Calculator
- Risk Management Focus: After seeing numerous traders face significant losses due to improper position sizing, I wanted to create a tool that would help traders make more informed decisions about their trade sizes and risk levels.
- Leverage Understanding: Many traders, especially beginners, struggle to understand the true impact of leverage on their trades. This calculator provides clear insights into how leverage affects both potential profits and losses.
- Educational Purpose: Beyond being just a calculation tool, I designed this calculator to serve as an educational resource that helps traders understand the relationship between position size, risk, and potential returns.
- Market Adaptation: The cryptocurrency market’s high volatility requires precise risk management. This calculator helps traders adapt their position sizes according to market conditions while maintaining consistent risk levels.
Professional Background
With extensive experience in both traditional and cryptocurrency markets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the importance of risk management in successful trading. This calculator represents the culmination of my market knowledge and trading principles, designed to help both novice and experienced traders make better decisions.
My Trading Philosophy
- Always prioritize capital preservation over potential profits
- Maintain consistent risk levels across all trades
- Use leverage responsibly and understand its implications
- Plan multiple exit points for better risk management
- Base position sizes on potential loss rather than potential gain

Leverage Warning: Using leverage significantly increases both profit potential and risk of losses. With 10x leverage, for example, your gains and losses are multiplied by 10. Never use leverage without fully understanding the risks involved.
Cryptocurrency trading is a high-risk activity and past results do not guarantee future results. Trade responsibly and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
