Start with the delayed reference price when available, replace it with your current market price if needed, then add your stop loss, choose a risk percentage, and TickPilot returns the contract size that matches your risk.
Formula:
Example P&L = (Exit Price - Entry Price) / Tick Size x Tick Value x Contracts
TickPilot automates this calculation. Enter your account balance, chosen risk percentage, and stop loss to calculate a whole-contract position size that fits that risk budget.
