Risk calculator

The arithmetic of a challenge in one screen: what to size, what a pip is worth, and how much room the rules leave you.

Free account with no card. Premium starts with 14 days free.

An example: the risk calculator in the members' app, with sample numbers.

What you see

  • Lot size from your balance, the share of it you risk and your stop in pips.
  • What one pip is worth on that pair in your account currency.
  • How many losing trades in a row your daily loss limit and your maximum drawdown allow.
  • A risk plan in twelve lines, written for a funded account.
  • The same sums in the currency your account is actually in, not only in dollars.

What it does not do

  • It does not set your stop, and it does not know your other positions.
  • Rates come from the daily reference set, so a broker's conversion can differ a little.

Questions about risk calculator

Is there a free version?

Yes, two: a position size calculator and a pip value calculator, both public and without a sign-up.

Does it know my prop firm's rules?

You enter them once, and it shows what the limits mean in trades rather than in percentages.

Which account currencies are supported?

The eight majors, so the answer is in the currency your account is actually in.
