Practise safely, with pretend money

Position size calculator

The "1% rule": many educators suggest beginners risk only a small percentage of their account on any one trade. This calculator shows how big a position would be so a stop loss limits the loss to that amount.

New practice journal entry

Record your hypothetical trades from the scenarios, a demo account or paper trading. Reviewing your reasons and feelings is how you learn.
