Risk Management Template for Trading

You can use it in Excel or Google Sheets. Here is the model:

Date,Pair (e.g.: BTC/USDT),Total Capital (USDT),% Risk,Risk in USDT,Entry,Stop Loss,Take Profit,Leverage,Position Size (USDT),Result (USDT),Notes

15/04/2025,ETH/USDT,100,1%,1,1885,1875,1905,5x,9.43,2.2,"Entry on support, confirmed EMA crossover"

How to calculate the position size?

Formula:

Size = Risk in USDT / (Entry - Stop Loss)

In futures, also multiply by the leverage.

Example:

• Risk: $1

• Entry: 1885

• SL: 1875

• Difference = 10

• Size without leverage = $1 / 10 = 0.1 ETH

• With 5x → 0.1 x 5 = 0.5 ETH → total value = $9.43
