Trading calculators

Fifteen calculators for planning trades and understanding their costs. They cover 20 instruments: major forex pairs, gold, crypto, stock indices and shares. Forex rates come from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates; contract sizes are typical values you can change to match your broker.

Which calculator should I use first?

Start with position size and pip value to relate a stop distance to a chosen risk amount.
Check required margin and effective leverage; margin is not a maximum loss.
Estimate spread cost and overnight swap with compatible broker inputs.
Examine gross profit or loss and break-even assumptions; these calculations do not predict results.
