The calculation
How AAPL position sizing works
Risk budget = account balance × risk percentage.
Position units = risk budget ÷ stop distance per unit, after converting USD into the account currency.
Contract amount = position units ÷ the contract multiplier. The pre-filled value is editable because broker and venue specifications differ.
Risk/reward = target distance ÷ stop distance. Target profit is shown before spread, commission, financing and slippage.
Estimated initial margin = notional exposure ÷ leverage. The broker or venue's own margin schedule controls the order.
AAPL is a USD-quoted US equity. The default treats one share as one position unit; leveraged stock CFDs and fractional-share products can use different multipliers.
About this stock
Leverage changes margin, not the stop distance
At the same position size, entry and stop, changing leverage does not reduce the price loss between entry and stop. It changes the estimated margin reserved for the trade and can make a much larger exposure look affordable.
This calculator does not estimate liquidation price or the probability of reaching the stop or target. Maintenance margin, mark price, protection rules and close-out thresholds differ by product, broker and venue.

Questions
AAPL calculator FAQ
How do I set AAPL entry, stop and target on the chart?
Select Set entry and click the desired price, then place the stop and target in sequence. Drag any of the three lines to fine-tune it, or type an exact value in the matching field.
How is the AAPL risk/reward ratio calculated?
The calculator divides the absolute distance from entry to target by the absolute distance from entry to stop. A displayed ratio of 1:2 means the target distance is twice the stop distance. It does not estimate the probability of reaching either level.
What contract size should I use for AAPL?
AAPL is a USD-quoted US equity. The default treats one share as one position unit; leveraged stock CFDs and fractional-share products can use different multipliers. Check the exact multiplier, point value and margin specification in your own trading platform before relying on the result.
Does leverage change the loss at my AAPL stop?
Not if position size, entry and stop stay the same. Leverage changes the margin required to hold the position. Higher leverage can increase margin pressure and the chance that a broker or venue closes a position before its stop is reached.
Is the planned loss my maximum possible loss?
No. It is a price-distance estimate for the inputs entered. Spread, slippage, commissions, financing, price gaps, currency conversion and close-out rules can make the actual loss larger.
Does Ampeld store the numbers I enter?
No. The calculator runs in the browser. Account balance, risk, entry, stop, target, leverage and result values are not sent to Ampeld and are not included in analytics events.
