The trade
The result
An example with typical numbers. Change any box to use your own.
A profit of $297.00 after costs, from a move of +300.0 pips at 0.1 lots.
- Before and after costs
- +$300.00 on the price, less $3.00 of spread and commission. The exit has to pass 4000.3 just to break even.
- Against the risk
- +1.94 R: the stop at 3985 risks $153.00 with the costs. The target is 2.00 times the stop distance. Write the R in your journal: it compares trades of any size.
Swap for nights held and slippage are not included (the cost check adds swap). Contract sizes are the common MetaTrader ones; check your broker's.
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.
Keep the R, not the money
A profit of 200 says little on its own: on a 100 risk it is a fine trade, on a 1,000 risk it is a small one. The result divided by what the trade risked to its stop, the R, compares every trade on the same scale, whatever the size or the instrument. Average the R over your last 50 trades and you have your edge per trade; it is the number the edge map and the drawdown simulator start from.
- Before the trade, turn the stop into a lot size with the position size calculator.
- What one pip is worth at your size: the pip value calculator.
Not advice. The answer is arithmetic on the numbers you type, not a view on any market.
