Your goal and your numbers

What the goal asks

Type in your goal and how you trade, and press the button.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it. Risk warning

Educational only, not financial advice; trading involves risk.

Pick the risk first, then live with the result

The return of a trading month is the edge per trade, times the number of trades, times the risk per trade. The edge and the number of trades come from your method; the only dial left is the risk. So a goal that is bigger than your edge can pay for turns, quietly, into a bigger risk per trade, and that brings deeper falls with it.

The steadier way round: choose the risk your drawdown limit allows, and let the month be what it is. Some months will be far above the middle, many below, and some will lose. A steady monthly figure is not something any honest method promises.

Measure your edge first: win rate and reward from 50 real trades or more, after costs.
Write the risk into your trading plan, and size each trade with the position size calculator.

Not advice and not a forecast or a promise of any return. The answer is arithmetic on the numbers you type.
