TEZIQUEST / PRACTICE GUIDE
Practise position sizing before you place a simulated trade
Position sizing answers a simple question: how many units fit a planned loss budget? Work through this fictional example, then test yourself in Tezi City’s Risk Bank missions.
Practise in Tezi City →Work the example
Assume a simulated long entry at ₹100, a planned stop at ₹95, and a loss budget of ₹300. For this exercise, estimate ₹1 per share for round-trip costs.
- Distance to the stop: ₹100 − ₹95 = ₹5 per share.
- Estimated planned loss per share: ₹5 + ₹1 = ₹6.
- Maximum quantity under those assumptions: ₹300 ÷ ₹6 = 50 shares.
Round down if the result is fractional. If the instrument trades in lots, round down again to a valid lot size. Separately check that the position fits your available cash or applicable margin.
What if price gaps past the stop?
If an exit instead fills at ₹92, the loss before costs is ₹8 per share. With the assumed ₹1 per share cost, 50 shares would lose ₹450. A stop price is a trigger, and the order type and market conditions determine whether and where you get a fill.
Try it yourself
Keep the same ₹300 budget and assume ₹9 loss per share in the stressed scenario. What whole-share quantity fits? 33 shares: 33 × ₹9 = ₹297, while 34 × ₹9 = ₹306. This is a practice calculation, not a guarantee or a recommendation to trade.
