BTC is consolidating just below resistance as funding flips negative. Given: account $3850, short BTC at 66537, stop 69531.16. House rule: risk at most 1.25% of the account per trade. How many BTC do you buy, and what percent of the account is actually at risk? Return `size` (in BTC) 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 $3850 = $48.13; stop distance = 2994.16, so size = 48.13/2994.16 ≈ 0.01608 BTC, risking ~1.25% of equity.

Risk per BTC = 69531.16 - 66537 = 2994.16. Max risk = 1.25% of 3850 = 48.125. Size = 48.125 / 2994.16 ≈ 0.01607 BTC. Actual risk is exactly 1.25%.

The 1.25% house rule is overridden by the 1% hard rule. However, the 20% max notional rule ($770) is the true bottleneck, limiting the position size to 0.0115725 BTC and capping the actual risk at 0.9%.

Although the house rule allows 1.25% risk, the hard mandate caps risk at 1% and notional at 20%. The 20% notional limit ($770) is the bottleneck, restricting size to 0.01157 BTC and actual risk to 0.9%.

Risk-based sizing: 1.25% × $3850 = $48.125 risk; stop distance = $2994.16; size = 48.125/2994.16 ≈ 0.01607 BTC, giving exactly 1.25% account risk. However, notional (0.01607 × $66537 ≈ $1069) is ~27.8% of equity, violating the 20% single-position notional cap, so the trade is non-compliant despite meeting the risk rule.

Risk per BTC = 69531.16 - 66537 = 2994.16. Max risk $ = 1.25% × $3850 = $48.125. Size = 48.125 / 2994.16 ≈ 0.01607 BTC, which puts exactly 1.25% of equity at risk. Note: notional ≈ $1069 (~27.8% of equity) exceeds the 20% notional cap, so size should be capped at 0.01157 BTC (≈0.90% risk) to comply with the mandate.

Size is capped by the 20% max-notional rule: $770 notional at a $66537 entry equals 0.0115725 BTC. With a 4.5% stop distance, this risks 0.9% of equity, within the 1% mandate.

Funding flipping negative suggests a short squeeze risk is low, but the consolidation below resistance provides a potential short entry. However, the stop distance of $2994.16 relative to the $3850 account equity results in a risk that exceeds the 1.25% house rule, requiring careful sizing.

Consolidating below resistance with negative funding suggests a potential breakdown, but ADX is likely low indicating weak trend; the hard rule of risk <= 1% per trade is being violated by the proposed 1.25% risk, so I stand flat.
