Trading calculator

The Trading calculator is a pre-trade tool that helps estimate key deal parameters before opening a position.

It is designed for both beginners and experienced traders and helps evaluate potential trading costs and required margin in advance.

Use it in four steps:

1. Select the trading instrument.
2. Enter the lot size.
3. Choose leverage and account currency.
4. Click Calculate to get transaction parameters.

To calculate, enter:

1. Instrument (ticker).
2. Trade volume in lots.
3. Leverage value.
4. Account currency.

After that, the calculator returns spread, swaps, margin, and other values.

The main outputs are Contract Size, Point Value, Spread, Swap Short/Swap Long, and Margin.

Together, they show transaction size, point cost, bid/ask difference, overnight rollover values, and required collateral for the selected leverage.

Contract Size is the trade volume in the instrument base asset.

For Forex, 1 standard lot is typically 100,000 units of the base currency. For other instruments, lot size differs by symbol (for example, XAUUSD and XAGUSD have their own contract sizes).

Point Value is the cost of one minimum price step for the selected instrument.

It can be expressed as: One Point Value = Contract * (Price + One Point) - Contract * Price.

Spread is the difference between Ask and Bid prices.

It is one of the direct trading costs and may vary by instrument, account type, and market conditions.

Swap (rollover) is an overnight charge or credit applied when a position is carried to the next trading session.

Swap can be positive or negative depending on instrument conditions and rates used by liquidity providers.

Margin is collateral required to open and maintain a leveraged position.

Basic formula: Margin = Contract Size / Leverage. If account currency differs from the instrument base currency, the result is converted at the current exchange rate.

Yes, for instruments available in the calculator ticker list for your selected account/server.

Instrument availability depends on account type. Use Contract Specifications to verify supported symbols and conditions before calculation.
