Why sizing alone is not enough
The standard formula — risk budget ÷ distance to stop — sizes the position so that
if the stop fills, you lose exactly what you budgeted. It says nothing about whether
the stop is reachable. Leverage sets the liquidation price independently, and when liquidation
falls between entry and stop the exchange closes the position first. The stop is then decoration.
The check has to use the tier-correct liquidation price. At $5,000
notional this contract sits in tier 1, where maintenance margin is
10.000% — so liquidation is 10.00% ($0.0008697) away from what the common
entry × (1 ∓ 1/leverage) formula reports.

Fees, slippage and funding are not deducted here, and a gap through the stop can exceed the budgeted loss regardless of sizing. Maintenance margin is read at the tier your notional falls in; a size large enough to cross a boundary moves it further.
