Trade Architect

One form for the whole trade: position size, R:R, margin and risk — with the pair charted and your entry, stop and target drawn on it.

Position Size

How many lots to trade so a stop-out costs only your planned risk.

Pip Value

What one pip is worth in your account currency, for any pair and lot size.

Margin

Capital required to open a position at a given leverage.

Swap / Rollover

Estimated overnight financing cost from interest-rate differential.

Risk : Reward

R-multiple, pips at risk, pips at reward — from entry, stop, and target.

Kelly Fraction

The largest risk per trade your win rate and average R can support, with half- and quarter-Kelly.

Spread Cost

How much your broker's bid–ask spread really costs you per trade, day, and year.

Trade Plan Builder

One form, one plan: position size + R:R + Kelly check. Copy the summary or share via URL.

What the calculators need from you

Every calculator starts from the same few inputs: the currency pair, your account currency, and either a position size in lots or the risk you want to take. Some add leverage (margin), interest rates (swap), or entry, stop and target prices (risk : reward). Results are converted into your account currency at the latest ECB daily rate, so they are close estimates rather than tick-precise quotes. None of them include commission or slippage; add those from your broker's price list.

Plan one trade with three calculators

A $10,000 dollar account, risking 1% ($100) on a EUR/USD long with a 20-pip stop:

  1. Size. One pip on EUR/USD is $10 per standard lot, so 20 pips cost $200 per lot. The position size calculator returns $100 ÷ $200 = 0.50 lots.
  2. Margin. At EUR/USD 1.1000, 0.50 lots is 50,000 euros, worth $55,000. At 30:1 leverage, the EU retail limit for major pairs, the margin calculator shows $55,000 ÷ 30 ≈ $1,833 held while the trade is open.
  3. Cost. With a 1-pip spread, each round trip at 0.50 lots costs $5. The spread cost calculator turns that into a monthly figure for your trade count.

The Trade Architect does all three in one form and draws the levels on the chart.

How to calculate profit from pips and lot size

Profit or loss = pips moved × pip value per lot × lots. A 30-pip win on 0.50 lots of EUR/USD in a dollar account is 30 × $10 × 0.50 = $150. For pairs whose quote currency isn't your account currency, the pip value changes with the exchange rate; the pip value calculator gives the current figure.

Are trading calculators worth using?

They don't tell you which trades to take. They answer the arithmetic that's easy to get wrong under time pressure: a lot size for the wrong account currency, a JPY pip taken as 0.0001, a margin figure at the wrong leverage. Running the numbers before each trade keeps risk at the level you chose, not the level the last trade left you at.

FAQ

What does a trading calculator need?

The currency pair, your account currency, and a position size or a risk amount. Margin needs leverage; swap needs the two interest rates; risk : reward needs entry, stop and target.

How do I calculate profit from pips and lot size?

Pips × pip value per lot × lots. On EUR/USD in a dollar account, 30 pips at 0.50 lots is $150.

How does trade size affect margin?

Margin rises in step with size: double the lots and the margin doubles. Higher leverage lowers the margin but not the risk.

Are the results exact?

Close estimates. Rates are the ECB daily reference rates, and commission, slippage and your broker's own swap rates aren't included.

Do I need an account?

No. All nine calculators work without signing up.
