  Calculating the position size in cryptocurrency futures trading can be a bit tricky, but once you understand the concept, it becomes easier. The first step is to determine your risk percentage, which represents the maximum amount you are willing to lose on a trade. Next, you need to calculate the dollar value of the price movement by multiplying the contract multiplier with the price difference between the entry and stop loss prices. Finally, divide the dollar value of the price movement by the risk percentage and the account equity to determine the position size. Keep in mind that the position size should be adjusted based on your risk tolerance and the leverage offered by the exchange. If you're using BYDFi, they have a user-friendly position size calculator that can help you with the calculations.
