Size defines how your position quantity is determined when placing an order.
- Contracts: you manually set the exact number of contracts or units to trade.
- Risk $: position size is calculated so that the maximum loss equals the dollar amount you specify.
- Risk %: position size is calculated so that the maximum loss equals a percentage of your account balance.
This lets you choose between manual sizing or automatic risk based sizing depending on your trading style.
