ETH chops near 1788.8 as traders eye a possible breakout above resistance. Given: account $3750, short ETH at 1788.8, stop 1869.3. House rule: risk at most 1.25% of the account per trade. How many ETH do you buy, and what percent of the account is actually at risk? Return `size` (in ETH) and `riskPct`.

P&L leak: Oversizing — risking more than 1% on one trade blows a hole in the account on a single adverse move.

Risk budget 1.25% of $3750 = $46.875; stop distance is 80.5, so size = 46.875/80.5 ≈ 0.5827 ETH, realizing 1.25% account risk.

Risk budget = 1.25% of $3750 = $46.875; stop distance = 80.5 per ETH, so size = 46.875/80.5 ≈ 0.5828 ETH, risking the full 1.25%.

The maximum position size given a 1.25% account risk ($46.88) and a stop distance of $80.50 is 0.5823 ETH, resulting in exactly 1.25% risk.

Risk per ETH = $80.50; max risk = 1.25% of $3750 = $46.875; max size = 46.875/80.50 = 0.5823 ETH. That puts 1.25% of account at risk.

Risk per ETH = 1869.3 - 1788.8 = 80.5. Max dollar risk = 1.25% × $3750 = $46.875. Size = 46.875 / 80.5 ≈ 0.5823 ETH, which puts exactly 1.25% of equity at risk. Note: notional ≈ $1041.6 (~27.8% of equity) exceeds the 20% notional cap from the standing mandate, so this sizing would not be compliant under the system rules even though it satisfies the stated 1.25% risk rule.

Stop distance = 1869.3 − 1788.8 = 80.5. Risk budget at the stated 1.25% house rule = 0.0125 × $3750 = $46.875. Size = $46.875 / $80.5 ≈ 0.582 ETH, putting 1.25% of equity at risk. Note: my standing mandate caps per-trade risk at 1%, which would size to ~0.466 ETH instead.

Given a short position at 1788.8 with a stop at 1869.3, risking 1.25% of the $3750 account ($46.875) requires a position size of approximately 0.0582 ETH. The risk is 1.25% as specified by the house rule, but note this exceeds the hard rule of 1% per trade.
