TRADE IN A REAL ACCOUNT TRY ON A DEMO ACCOUNTTo determine the expected profit amount for a planned order, select the tab with the preferred trading platform: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or TradecaTrader. Choose the currency pair you want to trade and your account's currency. Then, choose the period in days you plan to keep the order open and the trade volume in lots. Choose whether you plan a Buy or Sell order and specify its open and close price. Finally, press the Calculate button. You will see the calculated profit or loss based on provided order details. Try changing your order's trading volume and the open and close prices to determine the most profitable conditions.
The calculator can help you make well-considered profitable trades, keep your balance in check, and increase your profits in the future. You can also use our traders' tools to make more informed decisions based on the current market situation.
You can use the calculator to choose the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels for your order. Input the details of your order, determine the open price and start calculating various outcomes by changing the close price level. Choose the levels resulting in profits and losses you are comfortable with.
Example: how to choose the Take Profit levelFor instance, you want to buy 8 lots of GBPUSD. The current price of this pair is 1,27140, and you expect it to rise. You set the matching trading volume and open price and start calculating potential profit for various close price values. For the close price of 1,27165, the expected profit is 200 USD, while the close price of 1,27180 results in 320 USD. Extra 120 USD seem significant, but since you are not sure the price will hit 1,27180, you choose 1,27165 as your Take Profit level to increase the chances of a profitable order. In the same way, you can also use the calculator to determine the Stop Loss level.
A Stop Loss order allows traders to limit the loss on a position. It automatically closes when the price reaches a certain non-favourable level you can set in advance. Using a Stop Loss order protects your funds from the worst-case scenario. You can use the calculator to manually choose the Stop Loss level for your order.
A Take Profit order allows traders to ensure the profit on a position. It automatically closes when the price reaches a certain favourable level you can set in advance. Using a Take Profit order allows you to take the expected profit before the price moves in the opposite direction. You can use the calculator to choose the Take Profit level for your order manually.
A pip is the smallest unit of price change in Forex. Its amount varies for different trading instruments:
Let us say you want to buy a standard lot of EURUSD, and the price is currently at the 1.0762 level. The calculated pip value of this trade is 10 USD. That means that if the price falls to 1.0761 (one pip down), you will lose 10 USD. And if it grows to 1.0772 (10 pips up), you will make 100 USD.
