ChartsPod Risk Position Planner: Settings to Check Before Your First Analysis

ChartsPod lists a position planner. Its output is only as good as the stop, fees and margin assumptions you enter.

Short answer

ChartsPod's research tools include a position planner. Before relying on it, check the inputs: account size or risk amount, entry and stop, fee rate (maker/taker), slippage allowance, leverage and margin mode, and whether the output shows liquidation distance relative to the stop. A planner that omits fees and slippage oversizes tight-stop trades. ChartsPod doesn't place orders; transfer the plan to your venue yourself.

Common first-session mistakes:

  • Fees left at zero
  • Stop inside liquidation not checked
  • Wrong contract size

Worked example

Illustrative: with a 0.3% stop and no costs entered, the planner suggests a size that loses ~40% more than planned once fees and slippage are added. See Stop-Distance Position Sizing in Crypto: When the Common Rule Produces a Misleading Result.
