Break-even / Averaging Calculator
Result
Average price is weighted by lot size. Break-even assumes all entries are in the same direction.
Forex Break-even Averaging Calculator 🧮
If you use multiple entries in a trade, knowing your break-even price is essential. Use our Break-even Averaging Calculator to determine the exact price level where your total position reaches zero profit/loss after averaging down or scaling in.
How to Use the Break-even Calculator
- Enter Entry Prices – Input all your entry prices (e.g., multiple buys or sells).
- Enter Lot Sizes – Specify the lot size for each entry to weight the calculation accurately.
- Click Calculate – The tool will show your break-even price level.
💡 Tip: This calculator is especially useful for averaging strategies like grid trading or martingale, where multiple entries are common.
Why Break-even Calculation Matters
Averaging can change your effective entry price significantly. Without calculating the exact break-even point, you might set your take profit or stop loss in the wrong place. This can lead to missed exits or unnecessary losses.
With this tool, you can easily find the price at which your net position becomes flat — helping you make smarter exit decisions.
Example Calculation
Example (Buy): – Entry 1: 1.1000 (0.50 lot) – Entry 2: 1.0950 (0.50 lot) ➡️ Break-even = (1.1000×0.5 + 1.0950×0.5) ÷ (0.5+0.5) = 1.0975 If price returns to 1.0975, the combined position is at zero P/L.
