Calculate the price distance between a gold entry and stop, or derive the stop-loss price from a fixed dollar risk budget and position size. Use either a long or short setup.
Two practical stop-loss methods.
The calculator tells you the monetary distance between entry and stop. It does not decide whether that stop is technically appropriate. Traders may also use market structure, volatility, support/resistance or other methods to determine where a stop should be placed.
If you decide that only $100 can be lost and you trade two gold units, the maximum price loss per unit is $50. A larger position requires a tighter dollar distance to maintain the same total risk.
Subtract allowable price risk from entry for a long trade or add it for a short trade.
Absolute difference between entry and stop.
