Crypto Money Management Calculator
Set your capital, allocation %, and leverage — instantly see how many units of BTC, ETH, or SOL you can hold, your real risk in INR, and how much capital stays safe as fire-fighting reserve.
How It Works — BTC Example with ₹1 Lakh Capital
Live Example: ₹1L capital, 30% allocation, 25× leverage, BTC at $103,000
1. Capital Allocation — Never Go All-In
Only use 30–40% of your total capital as margin for any single trade. The remaining 60–70% is your "fire-fighting reserve" — it covers margin top-ups if the trade moves against you, funds additional entries, and keeps you alive even after a liquidation.
2. Leverage Amplifies Both Gains AND Losses
25× leverage means a 2% SL wipes 50% of your margin (₹15,000 out of ₹30,000). But your SL must always sit above the liquidation price — with 25×, the exchange liquidates at ~4% from entry. Set your SL tighter than 4%.
3. Quantity = Position Size ÷ Entry Price
Crypto lets you buy fractional units. You don't need to buy 1 full BTC — you trade the position value. Your broker holds BTC worth $8,823 on your behalf; you own 0.0856 BTC of that position.
4. Safe SL Rule with Leverage
Your stop loss % must always be less than (1 ÷ Leverage). At 25× leverage, max SL before liquidation = 4%. Keep your SL at 2–3% to stay safe. If SL% ≥ (1 ÷ Leverage), the exchange liquidates you before your SL can fire.
