Can Your Account Afford This Trade?
A good-looking trade can still be too large for the account.
Affordability depends on maximum loss, buying power, correlated exposure, loss limits, drawdown tolerance, and how the account looks after several bad outcomes. Position size should survive the stress case, not just the base case.
Portfolio-Affordability and Position-Sizing Tool
Run the decision model
Affordability depends on maximum loss, buying power, correlated exposure, loss limits, drawdown tolerance, and how the account looks after several bad outcomes. Position size should survive the stress case, not just the base case.
Transparent model: scoring combines reward-to-risk, expected value, portfolio risk, liquidity, volatility/catalyst pressure, and data completeness. The output is educational, not individualized advice.
Plain-English limitation
The result is not a prediction. It cannot see live prices, order-book depth, broker rules, tax treatment, or your personal situation. It turns your assumptions into a disciplined review.
