Plan Topstep futures position size from stop distance and a chosen loss budget. Includes a 50K planning preset; verify current Topstep account rules before trading.
Futures trading is leverage-heavy. The fastest way to avoid over-sizing is to calculate position size from your stop distance, tick value, and risk percentage. TickPilot does that math instantly so you can trade with consistent risk across ES, NQ, CL, GC, and more.
If you already know your entry, stop, and account size, you can get a contract count in seconds. If you do not, start with the delayed reference price when available, then replace it with your live platform price for precision.
Choose a dollar risk budget, enter the trade entry and stop, then size contracts from the resulting risk per contract. Check the current Maximum Loss Limit, position-size rules, and any Daily Loss Limit that applies to your account directly with Topstep.
No. Topstep account paths and risk settings differ, and a Daily Loss Limit can be optional in some Trading Combine and Express Funded configurations. Treat the preset as a planning example and verify the rules for your specific account.
