Three inputs, a full risk picture
The calculator mirrors the maths the order ticket runs, so the numbers you plan with are the numbers you trade with.
Pick the instrument and size
Choose a symbol across forex, metals, indices, energy or crypto, then set your lot size and account currency.
Set leverage and direction
Dial leverage up to the per-class cap and choose buy or sell. Required margin updates instantly against the cap.
Model the move
Enter a pip distance to your target or stop. The panel returns pip value and the profit or loss that move implies.
What each number means
Understand the figures before you commit capital. Each metric is calculated in your chosen account currency.
Required margin
The capital reserved to open and hold a position. It equals the position notional divided by your leverage, expressed in your account currency. Higher leverage frees more capital but raises the speed at which losses consume your balance.
Pip value
The cash impact of a one-pip move, scaled to your trade size. For a standard forex lot of 100,000 units, one pip is roughly 10 units of the quote currency. It is the building block of every profit and loss figure.
Potential profit and loss
Pip value multiplied by the distance the market travels, signed by your direction. Use it to size a target and a stop before you enter, so every position carries a defined reward and a defined risk.
Position notional
The full market value you control: trade size times contract size times price. Leverage means you post only a fraction of this as margin, while profit and loss accrue on the entire notional.
Risk warning
Trading margin forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all invested capital. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses: a small adverse move can wipe out the margin posted and trigger a margin call or stop-out. These products are not suitable for every investor.
The figures produced by this calculator are estimates based on static reference prices and standard contract specifications. They are provided for illustration only and do not account for swaps, commissions, slippage, gaps or changes in spread. Live margin, pip value and profit or loss are computed by the order ticket from the real ECN feed at the moment of execution and may differ materially.
