Swap Calculator

Swap rate is usually in USD per lot per day. Multiply by lot size and number of days.

Forex Swap Calculator 🧮

When you hold a forex position overnight, you either pay or receive swap (overnight interest). Use our Forex Swap Calculator to find out exactly how much swap you’ll pay or earn based on your trade size, currency pair, and holding duration.

[swap-calculator-shortcode]

How to Use the Swap Calculator

  1. Select Currency Pair – Choose the pair you plan to trade.
  2. Enter Lot Size – Input the size of your position.
  3. Set Number of Days – Choose how many days you intend to hold the trade.
  4. Click Calculate – The tool will display estimated swap costs or income.

💡 Tip: Swap can be positive (you earn) or negative (you pay), depending on the interest rate differential between the two currencies in the pair.

Why Swap Calculation Matters

Swap fees can significantly impact long-term trades or strategies like carry trading. Some pairs offer positive swaps, meaning you earn interest daily, while others cost you to hold.

By calculating swap in advance, you can plan better, avoid unexpected costs, and even take advantage of positive swaps strategically.

Example Calculation

Suppose you buy 1 lot of AUD/JPY and hold it for 7 days. If the swap rate is +$3 per day, you’ll earn $21 total. Conversely, if you sell and the swap is -$3 per day, you’ll pay $21.

Break-even / Averaging Calculator

Calculates weighted average price and break-even across up to 3 entries.

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.

[break-even-averaging-calculator-shortcode]

How to Use the Break-even Calculator

  1. Enter Entry Prices – Input all your entry prices (e.g., multiple buys or sells).
  2. Enter Lot Sizes – Specify the lot size for each entry to weight the calculation accurately.
  3. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is break-even in trading?

Break-even is the price where your total open positions have zero net profit or loss.

Does this work for both buy and sell positions?

Yes. The calculator works for both long and short averaging strategies.

Why is lot size important in averaging?

Because each entry contributes differently to the weighted average. Larger lot sizes affect the break-even point more.

Compounding Calculator

Growth is compounded daily. Useful for tracking target growth over time.

Forex Compounding Calculator 🧮

Compounding is the key to exponential account growth. Use our Forex Compounding Calculator to project your potential profit over time based on your initial balance, expected return rate, and period.

[compounding-calculator-shortcode]

How to Use the Compounding Calculator

  1. Enter Starting Balance – Your initial trading capital.
  2. Set Return Rate (%) – Your expected daily, weekly, or monthly profit rate.
  3. Select Time Period – Choose how long to project the compounding growth (e.g. 30 days, 6 months, 1 year).
  4. Click Calculate – The calculator will display the growth projection and final balance.

💡 Tip: Even small, consistent returns can grow significantly over time with the power of compounding.

Why Compounding Matters in Trading

Compounding is when you reinvest your profits so that future gains are earned on both the original capital and the accumulated profits. Over time, this creates exponential growth — often underestimated by new traders.

Many professional traders aim for small but consistent gains (e.g., 1% per day). Over months or years, this strategy can lead to impressive growth.

Example Calculation

Starting Balance: $1,000
Daily Return: 2%
Period: 30 days
➡️ Final Balance ≈ $1,811
Total profit ≈ $811 in one month just by compounding daily gains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is compounding?

Compounding is the process of reinvesting profits to generate earnings on both the original capital and the accumulated gains.

Is compounding realistic in forex?

Yes, but it depends on discipline, consistency, and realistic profit targets. Unrealistic compounding plans (e.g., 10% per day) are not sustainable.

Can this calculator be used for crypto or stocks?

Yes. It works for any investment or trading strategy that involves reinvestment of profits.

Why Profit Calculation Matters

Many traders enter positions without fully understanding the potential outcome. By using a profit calculator, you can assess your trade setup in advance, ensuring that the reward justifies the risk and that your stop loss and take profit are placed correctly.

Example Calculation

Pair: EUR/USD Trade Size: 1 lot Entry: 1.1000 → Exit: 1.1050 (50 pips) ➡️ Profit ≈ $500 (50 pips × $10/pip per lot). If reversed, that would be a $500 loss.

Margin Calculator (USD Account)

Assumes 1 lot = 100,000 units (FX) or 100 oz (XAUUSD). Margin = Notional / Leverage.

Forex Margin Calculator 🧮

Margin is the amount of capital required to open and maintain a trading position. Use our Forex Margin Calculator to instantly find out how much margin you need, based on your lot size, leverage, and currency pair.

[margin-calculator-shortcode]

How to Use the Margin Calculator

  1. Select Currency Pair – Choose the pair you want to trade.
  2. Enter Lot Size – Input your planned trade volume.
  3. Set Leverage – Select your account leverage (e.g. 1:100, 1:500).
  4. Click Calculate – The tool will display the required margin in your account currency.

💡 Tip: Using high leverage can reduce the required margin, but also increases risk. Always calculate margin before placing a trade.

Why Margin Calculation Matters

Understanding margin helps prevent margin calls and over-leveraging. When you open a trade, a portion of your balance is locked as margin. If your account equity drops below a certain threshold, your broker may close positions automatically.

Knowing exactly how much margin you need helps you plan trades more effectively and avoid unexpected liquidation.

Example Calculation

Suppose you want to trade 1 lot of EUR/USD with 1:100 leverage. Contract size = $100,000. Required Margin = $100,000 ÷ 100 = $1,000. This means you need at least $1,000 of free margin to open this trade.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is margin in forex?

Margin is the amount of money required to open and hold a leveraged trading position.

Does leverage affect required margin?

Yes. Higher leverage reduces the required margin, but increases risk exposure.

Can I calculate margin for gold or indices?

Risk/Reward Calculator (USD Account)

For XAUUSD, 1 pip equals 0.01. Pip value is automatically calculated based on the selected pair and price.

Forex Risk Reward Calculator 🧮

Successful trading starts with proper planning. Use our Forex Risk Reward Calculator to evaluate your trade setups before you enter the market. This tool helps you calculate the risk-to-reward ratio in seconds — ensuring that your trades align with your strategy and money management rules.

[risk-reward-calculator-shortcode]

How to Use the Risk Reward Calculator

  1. Enter Entry Price – The price level where you plan to enter the trade.
  2. Set Stop Loss – The price level where your trade will be exited if the market moves against you.
  3. Set Take Profit – The price target where you plan to close your trade in profit.
  4. Click Calculate – The tool will show your Risk:Reward Ratio, pip distance, and potential profit/loss.

💡 Tip: Professional traders usually aim for at least a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio — meaning they risk $1 to make $2.

Why Risk to Reward Ratio Matters

The Risk to Reward Ratio (RRR) is one of the most important concepts in trading. Even if you don’t win every trade, a good RRR ensures your overall profitability. For example, if your average win is twice your average loss (1:2), you only need to win about 34% of the time to break even.

This calculator allows you to plan smarter trades, avoid emotional decision-making, and quickly filter out low-quality setups.

Example Calculation

Let’s say you plan to buy EUR/USD at 1.1000, set your stop loss at 1.0980 (20 pips risk), and your take profit at 1.1040 (40 pips reward). ➡️ Your risk-to-reward ratio is 1:2. This means if you win this trade, your profit will be twice your potential loss.

Related Forex Tools

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Risk to Reward Ratio?

It’s a ratio that compares the potential loss (risk) of a trade to its potential gain (reward). For example, 1:3 means you risk $1 to make $3.

What is a good Risk to Reward Ratio?

Many professional traders target at least 1:2 or higher. The higher the ratio, the fewer winning trades you need to stay profitable.

Does this calculator work for all assets?

Yes. It works for forex pairs, gold, crypto, indices, and more — as long as you input correct entry, stop loss, and take profit levels.

Pip Value Calculator (USD Account)

For XAUUSD, 1 pip equals 0.01. Pip value is automatically calculated based on the selected pair and price.

Forex Pip Value Calculator 🧮

Knowing the value of each pip is essential for proper risk management and position sizing. Use our Pip Value Calculator to instantly determine the monetary value of one pip for any currency pair, lot size, and account currency.

[pip-value-calculator-shortcode]

How to Use the Pip Value Calculator

  1. Select Currency Pair – Choose the forex pair you want to trade (e.g. EUR/USD, GBP/JPY).
  2. Enter Lot Size – Input the number of lots or units for the trade.
  3. Set Account Currency – Select the currency your account is denominated in.
  4. Click Calculate – The tool will display the pip value in your account currency.

💡 Tip: Pip value varies depending on the currency pair and account currency. It’s crucial for setting correct position sizes and stop losses.

Why Pip Value Matters in Trading

Pip value tells you how much profit or loss each pip movement will generate in your account currency. Without knowing pip value, it’s almost impossible to set precise stop losses or calculate correct position sizes.

For example, 1 pip on EUR/USD with a 1 lot position usually equals $10. But for pairs like GBP/JPY or exotic currencies, the value can be different.

Example Calculation

Suppose you trade 0.5 lots of EUR/USD and your account currency is USD. ➡️ Pip value ≈ $5 per pip. This means a 20 pip move equals $100 in profit or loss.

Related Forex Tools

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a pip?

A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest price movement in the forex market. For most currency pairs, 1 pip = 0.0001.

Does pip value change?

Yes. Pip value depends on the currency pair, lot size, and account currency. It can vary especially for non-USD pairs.

Why is pip value important?

It’s essential for calculating position sizes, setting stop losses, and understanding your potential profit or loss per trade.
