Trading Tools & Calculators

Turn an account balance, a risk percentage and a stop distance into a size in lots, shares or contracts.

The maximum you should lose on one trade, before anything else about the trade is decided.

Convert a position size into standard, mini and micro lots for your broker.

Work backwards from accepted risk and a fixed size to the stop distance that fits.

Compare reward with risk, and read off the win rate that ratio needs to break even.

What one pip is worth on the pair and size you are trading.

Potential profit and loss on a trade, with costs included rather than assumed away.

The move required to cover spread, commission and financing before anything is profit.

Round-turn cost per trade, and what share of your risk it eats.

Required margin for a position, and the effective leverage it puts on the account.

Exposure relative to equity, and why an affordable margin can still be reckless risk.

The spread in currency terms, and as a percentage of the risk on the trade.

Overnight financing on a held position, per night and over the expected hold.

Average outcome per trade from win rate and average win and loss. The number win rate hides.

Your hit rate, and the rate a given risk/reward needs before it earns anything.

How a fixed monthly return compounds an account balance over time.

Return per unit of volatility, and what the ratio does not tell you.

Average daily range, and how much of today’s range is already spent.

Historical and annualised volatility from a price series.

Classic, Fibonacci, Camarilla and Woodie pivots from one session.

Retracement and extension levels from a swing you define.

Whether two open positions are really one position wearing two tickers.
