risk inputs
volatility presets
5% = tight (majors, calm regime) · 10% = typical majors swing · 20% = high-vol alts. Crypto routinely moves in a day what stocks move in a month — size accordingly.
results — estimates
Sized for spot. If you use a leveraged venue anyway, check the platform's liquidation price against your stop — forced liquidation can trigger before your stop and lose more than the planned risk.
assumptions
Long spot position; stop executes at the stop price with no slippage or gap; no fees or funding costs. Crypto trades 24/7 and gaps through stops on thin weekend liquidity — treat the dollar risk figure as a floor, not a ceiling.

Digital assets are highly volatile and can lose most or all of their value; stops do not guarantee execution at the stop price, and leveraged venues can liquidate positions before stops trigger. Read the crypto risk disclosure before acting on any output.
