Position Sizer Performance Analyser

Built for traders,
by traders.

Every feature exists to help you make better decisions before, during, and after the trade.

📐

ADR Position Sizer

Calculate your ideal position size using live Average Daily Range data. Know your risk in dollars before you enter any trade.

Profitability Calculator

Monte Carlo over 4,000 paths per cell. Solves the largest risk per trade whose worst-case drawdown still fits your tolerance — and tells you the odds of passing an evaluation at that size.

Edge Optimiser

Buckets your own trade history by market state, setup, hold time, day and hour, so you can see which conditions actually pay you and which ones you only think do.

Prop Firm Evaluations

47 plans with their real rules — drawdown type, daily limits, consistency, minimum days — ranked by Trader's Edge: expected payout per dollar of fee.

Find the size that
survives the bad run.

Most traders pick a position size and hope. RiskDesk runs 4,000 Monte Carlo paths per cell against your win rate, your reward:risk and your drawdown tolerance, then solves for the largest fixed risk whose 95th-percentile drawdown still fits inside that tolerance.

  • Pass probability for every risk × R combination, on a real prop firm rule set
  • Median trades to pass — fewer trades means less exposure to the barrier
  • Equity curve with a 95% confidence band across 20 simulations
  • Outcome levels from best case to worst, so you can see the spread you are signing up for
  • Risk of ruin, profit factor, expectancy, longest win and loss runs, full Kelly
  • Drawdown vs position size, with the point where one bad sequence ends the attempt
  • Prop Firm and Live Account modes, with an Apply to Position Sizer button

Read the trend across a row, not the gap between two neighbouring cells. Position size is lumpy relative to the target: at 3% risk a single winner covers half the profit, so two good trades can finish an attempt that a smaller size would have to grind out over weeks. Figures shown for a $50K evaluation at 60% win rate.

You already have
an edge. Where?

Your trade history knows which conditions pay you. The Edge Optimiser buckets every trade by the market state it was taken in and the setup you took, then reports win rate, per-trade expectancy, net P&L and count for each bucket — so the answer comes from your own results rather than your memory of them.

  • Market state × setup matrix: trend, tight range and consolidation, with or against the move
  • Switch any cell between win rate, per trade, net P&L and trade count
  • Breakdowns by hold time, day of week and hour of day
  • Cells holding fewer than five trades are greyed — a rate off a handful of trades is noise, not a finding
  • Names your style from the data: continuation or reversal, whichever earns more of your money
  • Reads the entry date, so re-imported history buckets against the conditions you actually traded

Reversalagainst it94%18 trades100%6 trades91%11 trades100%4 trades90%29 trades
A real read from 209 trades: this account wins 84% going with the move and 93% going against it, but consolidation is where the continuation trades leak — 69% against 90% for reversals in the same condition. That is a finding you can act on. The greyed cell holds four trades and is deliberately not one.

Which prop firm challenge
is actually worth taking?

47 prop firm evaluation plans with the rules they really run — drawdown type, daily limits, consistency, minimum days — ranked by expected payout per dollar of fee. It measures the rules, not the firm, and it shows you the traps before you pay for one.

Top eight of 47. Rules verified September 2026 — firms change terms frequently and vary by platform and promotion, so check the figures against your own contract before sizing anything.

What Edge means

  1. Simulate a reference trader — 55% win rate at 1R, +0.10R per trade
  2. Run them against each plan's own rules, sweeping position size for the best result
  3. Report expected payout per dollar of fee
  4. A 23× plan is not twenty-three times better than a 17× one — it is the ranking that matters, and the gap between the top of this table and the bottom of the 47 is the part worth caring about
  5. Star ratings are other people's opinion and are kept out of it deliberately

How hard is it really

  1. PT:DD is the profit target over the drawdown allowance — how much you must make per dollar of rope you are given
  2. At 100% you have as much room to lose as you need to make. At 200% the target is twice the rope
  3. True cost: a monthly plan re-bills roughly every 21 trading days, so a $49/month evaluation that takes three months costs $147 — and Edge is computed on that, not the sticker price
  4. A high profit split on a plan you are unlikely to pass is worth less than a lower split you will

Rule traps worth avoiding

  1. Trailing drawdown follows your high-water mark, so a winner you gave back can fail the account even while you are up on the day
  2. A daily limit marked “!” fails the account outright rather than locking you out until tomorrow — a completely different rule wearing the same name
  3. Minimum trading days keep you taking trades after you have already hit the target, which is exactly when there is nothing left to gain and a limit left to breach
  4. Consistency rules that bind during the evaluation are shown here; ones that only bind at payout are not, and they are the ones that hold your money
  5. Multi-phase plans are modelled on phase one only, so those pass rates are an upper bound — phase two is still ahead of you
