# Risk % capital per %/ATR

You can risk a percentage of your current capital for a specific price movement. After each trade, it will calculate your new capital to size accordingly the next orders.

For a x% price move, you will risk y% of your capital.  

*Ex 1: Capital is 10 000$, \[A risk of 2% of current capital] \[At 1% of price change]*\
*Additionnal infos: In the Triggers Out box, stop loss is set at 1% \[Market stop at 1%] and Bitcoin market price at entry is 20 000$. We want to long.*

*In that example, we want to risk a maximum of 2% of our capital for a 1% price drop. To calculate our initial long value position, we consider our stop loss to be 1% lower market price at entry.* 

*2% of current capital is 200$ (10 000 \* 2%). If the market drops 1% and triggers our stop loss, the position will be closed at 19 800$ Bitcoin price. Which represents a 200$ drop.* 

*To size accordingly, the bot will open a long position of 20 000$. If the position is stopped, the loss will be 200$.*

*Ex 2: The bot won the last trade, for 5 000$ profit. The capital is now valued at 15 000$.*\
*\[A risk of 2% of current capital] \[At 1% of price change]*\
*Additionnal infos: In the Triggers Out box, stop loss is set at 4% \[Market stop at 4%] and Bitcoin market price at entry is 25 000$. We want to long.*

*The bot wants to enter a long position at 25 000$ Bitcoin price, with a maximum risk of **2%** of capital (or 300$) for a **1%** drop price.*\
*The bot will open a long position of 30 000$ (15 000 \* (**2%** / **1%**)).* \
*The market drops 4% and triggers our stop loss. The total loss is 1200$ (without fees and slippage) or 8% of capital.*

That feature is not a triggers out or a stop loss. It is only designed to calculate your initial position size accordingly to a certain risk. For a better synergy, you must consider your conditions on the Triggers Out Box.
