Risk disclaimer
This calculator provides estimates for informational purposes only. In fast markets price may skip the stop and real fills include slippage.
How do you turn a % stop into a price?
Long stops sit below entry: stop = entry × (1 − distance%); short stops sit above: stop = entry × (1 + distance%).
Use it to align percentage stops with actual limit prices on your exchange.
How to use
- Enter the entry price and the stop distance in percent (e.g. 5 = 5%).
- Click Calculate to see the long and short stop prices.
Formula
- Long Stop = Entry × (1 − Distance%)
- Short Stop = Entry × (1 + Distance%)
Example
Entry 20,000 at 5%: long stop 19,000, short stop 21,000.
At 2%: long stop 19,600, short stop 20,400.
FAQ
What distance should I use?
Base it on volatility and your plan. Too tight gets stopped out; too wide means large losses. Consider ATR or support levels.
Are fees included?
No. Both trading fees still apply after a stop, and fast markets can fill worse than the trigger.
