What are perps?
Perpetual futures, or perps, let you trade whether you think a market will rise or fall without owning the asset itself. You can use leverage to control a larger position with less money, but that also increases your risk. Unlike traditional futures, perps have no expiry date, so you can hold a position for as long as you want.
To keep perp prices close to the underlying market price, exchanges use a funding rate, which is usually paid or received every 8 hours on Binance or every hour on Hyperliquid. Work the numbers out before you click. Most people size a trade from what it could make. The loss is the part that decides whether you are still trading next month.
Decide your risk before your position size.
Choose how much of your account you are prepared to risk if the trade goes wrong. This tool uses your stop loss to calculate your position size, then shows what the trade looks like at different leverage levels.
Your account size (USDT)
Total money in your trading account.
Loss you accept on this trade
As a share of your account. 1% to 2% is a common range people use. At 5%, five losses in a row would cut a $10,000 account to about $7,738.
Stop loss distance
How far from your entry the stop sits. A tight stop needs more borrowed size. A loose one needs less.
Reward target
How much you aim to win for every $1 you risk. A 2 to 1 target aims to make $2 for every $1 at risk. Whether that works depends on how often the trade wins.
A $10,000 position would lose about $200 at that stop, before slippage and fees.
Five losses in a row at 2% each would take $10,000 to about $9,039. Take profit distance at your target: 4.00%.
| Leverage | Margin needed | Liquidation distance | Stop fires first | Use this row |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2x | $5,000 | 49.50% | Yes | |
| 3x | $3,333 | 32.83% | Yes | |
| 5x | $2,000 | 19.50% | Yes | |
| 10x | $1,000 | 9.50% | Yes | |
| 20x | $500 | 4.50% | Yes | |
| 50x | $200 | 1.50% | No, liquidation comes first |
Same position size on every row. Only the margin you post and the distance to liquidation change. The rows are facts, not advice. Pick one to fill the builder below and see the full plan.
Step 1. Your trade
What you want to trade and how.
Exchange
Binance Futures is the biggest exchange run by a company. Hyperliquid is the biggest one that runs onchain.
Asset
The big coins and gold trade on both. Nvidia has a live perp on Hyperliquid only, so on Binance you type its numbers in by hand.
Direction
Long = price will go UP. Short = price will go DOWN.
Margin mode
Isolated means only this trade's money is at risk. Cross means your whole account is. Check which money backs your trade.
Step 2. Position
How big, and how much borrowed size.
Entry price (USD)
The price where you plan to open. Live Mode fills this in with the current price.
Margin / collateral (USDT)
The real money you put down. Borrowed size turns it into a bigger trade.
Leverage, 10x
How much you multiply your money. At 10x, $500 trades like $5,000. Higher leverage brings the forced closing price closer.
Expected hold (hours)
How long you plan to stay in the trade. We use it to estimate the funding fee you will pay.
Taker fee (%)
Binance regular taker: 0.050%. Your tier or a fee discount may change it. Checked 2026-09-14. Leave it as is or type your own rate.
Step 3. Exits
Decide where you get out, both if you are wrong and if you are right.
Stop loss price
The price where the trade closes on its own to cap your loss. A stop can limit the loss if price moves against you. Longs: below entry. Shorts: above.
Take profit ladder
Taking profit in steps means closing part of the position at the first target and leaving the rest open. The three percentages should add up to 100.
Total closed: 100% (target 100%)

What this tool can and cannot tell you
The closing out price is an estimate that uses the exchange's own published rules. Real results still differ a little because of exact fees, the price you actually get, the funding fee that builds up, and your real balance. Always check with the exchange before sending a real order.
How this tool works
How to read your results
- 01
Your stop is not the worst case.
Below it sits the forced close price, where the exchange takes the position off you. The gap between the two is all the room you have. If a fast market jumps your stop, that gap is what is left.
- 02
The trade starts behind.
You pay to open and you pay to close. If you hold overnight, funding keeps taking a little every few hours. Price has to move that far before you are even.
- 03
The score is about the plan, not the trade.
Ninety out of a hundred does not mean a good trade. It means five things were filled in: risk per trade, leverage, reward against risk, a stop, and where you take profit. A terrible trade can score well.
Live prices from Binance and Hyperliquid, every ten seconds while the page is open. Margin rules from each exchange's schedule. Educational only.
How the calculation works
- 01Trade size (notional) = the money you put up times the leverage. Coins = trade size divided by the opening price.
- 02Forced close, prices up = the opening price times (1 minus 1 divided by leverage plus the maintenance margin rate). Prices down is the mirror. That rate steps up with the size of the trade when the venue publishes tiers.
- 03Fees to open and close = notional times taker fee times 2. Funding = notional times the rate times hold hours divided by the funding interval.
- 04Scenario table: position = accepted loss divided by stop distance. Margin per row = position divided by leverage.
