With a fixed risk amount, a further stop means a smaller quantity. The basic maths divides the planned risk amount by the planned loss per unit. The quantity is rounded down.
What should you check?
The maths is a plan, not a promise. Fees, slippage and price gaps can increase the actual loss. If the risk you set doesn't cover one unit, raising the quantity to one unit already exceeds the plan.
