Dynamic Position Size Planner

Plan risk amount and maximum pip value before a trade.

Enter values to calculate.
How to use & how it works

Purpose

Plan risk amount and maximum pip value before a trade.

How to use

  1. Enter Account Balance using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Risk % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Stop Loss (pips) using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Risk amount equals account balance multiplied by risk percentage. Position size is the risk amount divided by stop-loss distance and the pip or point value.

Worked example

With a $10,000 account, 1% risk and a 50-pip stop, the risk budget is $100. The final size depends on the instrument pip value.

Understand the result

A smaller position reduces loss at the same stop distance; a wider stop also requires a smaller position.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

Risk note

This tool is educational. Verify the result against the current broker, exchange or prop-firm contract before risking money.

Pip Value Calculator

Estimate pip value from lot size and contract specification.

Enter values to calculate.
How to use & how it works

Purpose

Estimate pip value from lot size and contract specification.

How to use

  1. Enter Lot Size using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Pip Value per Standard Lot using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Pip value is estimated by multiplying lot size by the pip value of one standard lot for the selected instrument.

Worked example

If one standard lot is worth $10 per pip, 0.20 lot is approximately $2 per pip.

Understand the result

Use the pip value to convert a stop-loss distance into money at risk.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

Margin Calculator

Estimate required margin for a leveraged position.

Enter values to calculate.
How to use & how it works

Purpose

Estimate required margin for a leveraged position.

How to use

  1. Enter Trade Value using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Leverage (e.g. 100) using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Required margin is trade value divided by leverage.

Worked example

A $100,000 position at 100:1 leverage requires approximately $1,000 margin before broker adjustments.

Understand the result

Margin is not the maximum possible loss; the market loss can exceed the margin used.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

Enter values to calculate.
How to use & how it works

Purpose

Combine spread and overnight swap into one trade-cost estimate.

How to use

  1. Enter Lot Size using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Pip Value per Lot using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Spread (pips) using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Enter Nights Held using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  5. Enter Swap per Lot / Night using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  6. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Spread cost equals lots × pip value × spread. Swap impact equals lots × swap per night × nights held.

Worked example

One lot with a 1-pip spread and $10 pip value costs about $10 before commission. Three nights at −$4 swap adds −$12.

Understand the result

Compare short-term spread cost separately from the overnight financing impact.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

How to use

  1. Enter Position Value using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Slippage % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Number of Trades using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Estimated slippage cost equals position value multiplied by slippage percentage, then multiplied by trade count.

Worked example

A 0.02% execution difference on a $20,000 position is about $4 per trade.

Understand the result

Frequent trading can turn small execution differences into a meaningful total cost.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

Leverage Stress Test

Stress-test margin, adverse movement and account risk together.

Enter values to calculate.
How to use & how it works

Purpose

Stress-test margin, adverse movement and account risk together.

How to use

  1. Enter Account Balance using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Position Value using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Leverage using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Enter Adverse Move % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  5. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

The tool compares required margin with estimated loss from an adverse percentage move and expresses that loss as a percentage of account balance.

Worked example

A 1% adverse move on a $50,000 position is $500, regardless of whether leverage reduces the margin required.

Understand the result

Higher leverage lowers margin requirements but does not reduce the market loss on the full position.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  3. Enter Fixed Fees using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Enter Taxes / Charges % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  5. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Total cost combines percentage brokerage, fixed charges and estimated taxes or statutory charges.

Worked example

On ₹100,000 turnover, 0.03% brokerage is ₹30 before fixed and statutory charges.

Understand the result

Use the final total to compare brokers on the same order size and segment.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  2. Enter DP Charge using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter GST % on DP Charge using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

DP cost combines the broker or depository participant fee and GST applied to that fee.

Worked example

A ₹15.93 DP charge with 18% GST adds about ₹2.87, for roughly ₹18.80 total.

Understand the result

DP charges generally apply on eligible sell transactions, not on every buy order.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

How to use

  1. Enter Buy Value using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Buy-side Charges using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Estimated Sell-side Charges using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Break-even exit value equals buy value plus estimated buy-side and sell-side charges.

Worked example

A ₹50,000 purchase with ₹40 total round-trip charges needs an exit value above ₹50,040 to break even.

Understand the result

The required percentage gain changes with order value and the exact charge schedule.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  2. Enter Other Switching Cost using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Expected Annual Saving using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Recovery time compares one-time transfer and exit costs with expected annual savings at the new broker.

Worked example

₹1,200 switching cost and ₹2,400 annual savings implies recovery in about six months.

Understand the result

Switch only after checking service quality, transfer restrictions and hidden ongoing charges.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

How to use & how it works

Purpose

Measure drawdown amount and percentage from a peak balance.

How to use

  1. Enter Peak Balance using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Current Balance using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Drawdown is peak balance minus current balance; drawdown percentage divides that loss by the peak balance.

Worked example

A fall from $100,000 to $94,000 is a $6,000 or 6% drawdown.

Understand the result

Compare the result with the exact static, trailing, balance or equity rule used by the firm.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  2. Enter Best Day Profit using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Consistency Limit % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Consistency percentage is best-day profit divided by total profit. The tool estimates extra profit needed to bring the percentage below the limit.

Worked example

A $1,000 best day within $4,000 total profit equals 25% consistency.

Understand the result

A high percentage means too much of the result came from one day under many firm rules.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  2. Enter Current Equity using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Daily Loss Limit % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Daily loss used is day-start balance minus current equity. It is compared with the daily-loss limit amount.

Worked example

A 5% daily limit on $100,000 allows $5,000; equity at $97,000 uses $3,000 and leaves $2,000 buffer.

Understand the result

Confirm whether open loss, commissions and previous-day equity are included by the firm.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  4. Enter Remaining Trading Days using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  5. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

The target amount is starting balance multiplied by target percentage. Remaining target is divided by remaining trading days.

Worked example

An 8% target on $100,000 is $8,000. If $3,000 is complete with 10 days left, the simple average is $500 per day.

Understand the result

The daily figure is a planning average, not a requirement to force trades every day.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  3. Enter Payout / Transfer Fees using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Trader share equals eligible gross profit multiplied by profit-split percentage, minus payout or transfer fees.

Worked example

$5,000 eligible profit at an 80% split gives $4,000 before payout fees.

Understand the result

Eligibility rules, minimum days, consistency and taxes can change the actual payout.

  2. Enter Failed Attempts using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Reset / Retry Fee using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Enter Expected Fee Refund using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  5. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

True cost combines the initial fee, reset or retry costs and subtracts only a refund that is genuinely expected and eligible.

Worked example

A $100 challenge plus two $80 retries costs $260; a later $100 refund leaves $160 net cost.

Understand the result

Compare net cost with the true drawdown capital and expected payout terms.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

Enter values to calculate.
How to use & how it works

Purpose

Compare advertised account size with the actual drawdown capital at risk.

How to use

  1. Enter Advertised Account Size using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  2. Enter Maximum Drawdown % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Profit Target % using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

True drawdown capital is advertised account size multiplied by maximum drawdown percentage. Target-to-drawdown ratio compares profit target with this usable loss buffer.

Worked example

A $100,000 account with 10% maximum drawdown offers $10,000 of loss buffer, not $100,000 of risk capital.

Understand the result

Use this to compare firms with different account sizes and drawdown structures.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  5. Enter Reward / Risk using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  6. Enter Planned Trades using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  7. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

The planner estimates loss-streak capacity from drawdown and risk per trade, then calculates simple expectancy from win rate and reward-to-risk.

Worked example

A 10% drawdown limit and 1% risk per trade allows roughly ten full-risk losses before other rule effects.

Understand the result

Expectancy is statistical and does not predict the sequence of wins and losses.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

Worked example

If current equity is below either calculated floor, the scenario indicates a rule breach.

Understand the result

Use the smaller remaining buffer as the practical limit before another trade.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.

  2. Enter Stop Price using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  3. Enter Target Price using the current broker, market or firm rules.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result before placing a trade.

How it works

Risk is the distance from entry to stop; reward is the distance from entry to target. Reward divided by risk gives the ratio.

Worked example

Entry 100, stop 98 and target 106 gives 2 points risk, 6 points reward and a 1:3 ratio.

Understand the result

A high ratio does not make a trade good unless the probability and execution plan are realistic.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using outdated fees, contract sizes, leverage, tax rates or drawdown rules.
  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed trading outcome.
  • Ignoring slippage, currency conversion, commissions or broker-specific rounding.
