How the math works. Risk amount = account × risk%. Position size = risk amount ÷ stop distance, so units × price = position value. This sizes every trade to the same fixed risk no matter how far away the stop is — a wider stop simply means fewer units, not more money at risk. That fixed-risk discipline is the point.
