How to read it

Use the output as a review prompt, not a signal.

If the result is 0, the setup does not fit the account.
Leave room for slippage and commissions.

Risk disclosure

This tool is educational. It does not place trades, recommend trades, or know your personal financial situation. Trading stocks, options, futures and crypto involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose more than you invest in leveraged products. Only trade money you can afford to lose. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Methodology

Reviewed as educational research, not trade advice.

Futures-first risk math before product claims.

Every page answers your question before it asks anything of you.

Tools are educational and never produce trade recommendations.

Formulas are shown on the page. Results are educational, never trade recommendations.
