How the Decision Works

One lot must pass two separate checks

01

Can you afford the premium?

For option buying, LotLogic calculates entry premium multiplied by the selected lot size.

02

Does the loss fit your risk?

Entry-to-stop distance is multiplied by quantity, then slippage and estimated charges are added.

03

One lot must pass both

Having enough premium does not automatically mean that the position fits your risk limit.

Worked Example

One NIFTY-style lot with ₹500 maximum risk

Assume ₹12,000 capital, an entry premium of ₹20, a stop-loss premium of ₹13, and a lot size of 65.

Stop distance ₹20 − ₹13 = 7 points
Price risk for one lot 7 × 65 = ₹455
Premium required 20 × 65 = ₹1,300
Risk budget ₹500
Basic result before costs One lot fits by ₹45

Affordable does not mean risk-compliant

A trader may have enough capital to purchase the premium but still risk more than their selected limit. LotLogic intentionally displays premium affordability and risk affordability separately.
