Allowed capital at risk is calculated as follows:
**allowed capital at risk** = **total capital** X **allowed risk per trade**

**position size** = **allowed capital at risk** / **stoploss**
Example:
Let's say your stake amount is 3 ETH, you would allow 1% of risk for each trade. thus your allowed capital at risk would be **3 x 0.01 = 0.03 ETH**. Let's assume Edge has calculated that for **XLM/ETH** market your stoploss should be at 2%. So your position size will be **0.03 / 0.02= 1.5ETH**.<br/>
Let's say the stake currency is ETH and you have 10 ETH on the exchange, your **capital_available_percentage** is 50% and you would allow 1% of risk for each trade. thus your available capital for trading is **10 x 0.5 = 5 ETH** and allowed capital at risk would be **5 x 0.01 = 0.05 ETH**. Let's assume Edge has calculated that for **XLM/ETH** market your stoploss should be at 2%. So your position size will be **0.05 / 0.02= 2.5ETH**.<br/>

As an example if you have 100 USDT available in your wallet on the exchange and this value is 0.5 (which is 50%), then the bot will use a maximum amount of 50 USDT for trading and considers it as available capital.
