Every calculator from both books, free to use. Arithmetic, not forecasts.

Pip distance

Counts the pips between two EUR/USD prices.

Example: 1.1200 to 1.1225 = 25 pips.

Calculator 1 of 5

Pip distance

Distance: 25 pips (EUR/USD, 1 pip = 0.0001)

Risk note: Counting pips does not tell you where price will go.

Stop and target from the fill

30-pip stop and 50-pip target from the actual fill (Book 1).

Example: Buy fill 1.1203 → stop 1.1173, target 1.1253.

Calculator 2 of 5

Stop and target from the actual fill

Stop 1.1173 · Target 1.1253 · Reward-to-risk about 1.67

Risk note: A stop is an exit instruction, not a guaranteed price.

Position size (30-pip stop)

Lots from a 0.25% risk ceiling, rounded down.

Example: $2,000 → $5 budget → 0.01 lot, planned loss $3.20.

Calculator 3 of 5

Position size (0.25% risk ceiling)

Budget $5.00 · Risk per 1.00 lot $320 · Calculated 0.015625 lots → round down to 0.01 lot, planned loss $3.20

Risk note: Gaps and slippage can exceed a careful budget.

Position size (any stop)

Set equity, risk, stop, pip value and cost allowance.

Example: $5,000, 46 pips + 2 → 0.02 lots, $9.60.

Tool · Position-size calculator

Size from the stop distance

Budget $12.50 · Risk per 1.00 lot $480 · Calculated 0.0260417 lots → round down to 0.02 lots, planned loss $9.60

Risk note: If the minimum lot is too big, the size is zero.

Break-even win rate

The win rate needed to break even after costs.

Example: 50/30 pips gross → 37.5%; with 2-pip cost → 40%.

Calculator 4 of 5

Break-even win rate

With a 50-pip target and 30-pip stop, break-even is 37.5%. This is arithmetic, not a forecast.

Risk note: A low break-even rate does not mean you will exceed it.

Expectancy

Average result per trade at a hypothetical win rate.

Example: 45% with 2-pip cost → +4 pips per trade.

Calculator 5 of 5

Expectancy per trade

Expectancy: 4 pips per trade (0.13R). A constructed example, not the strategy's real win rate.

Risk note: The win rate here is your assumption, not a measured result.

Break-even and expectancy (1R)

For equal-size targets and stops after costs.

Example: +44 / −48 → break-even 52.17%.

Tool · Break-even and expectancy

Does the arithmetic add up?

Break-even win rate 52.17% · Net expectancy 2.6 pips per trade. Arithmetic, not a forecast.

Risk note: Constructed numbers say nothing about real results.

Inside-bar checker

Tests the strict inside-bar rule.

Example: Mother 1.1230/1.1150, inside 1.1215/1.1175 → valid, 40 pips.

Tool · Inside-bar checker

Is it a valid inside bar?

Valid · Valid: the whole range sits strictly inside the mother bar. · Candidate range 40 pips

Risk note: A valid pattern does not prove a breakout will follow.

Order calculator

Both entries, stops and 1R targets from the inside bar.

Example: Buy 1.1218 / stop 1.1172 / target 1.1264.

Tool · Order calculator

Plan both directions

Buy: entry 1.1218 · stop 1.1172 · target 1.1264
Sell: entry 1.1172 · stop 1.1218 · target 1.1126
Stop distance: 46 pips

Risk note: Fills can differ from planned entries.

Equity-curve simulator

100 random trades from your assumptions.

Example: 50% wins, 1R, 0.25% risk.

Simulation for learning, not a prediction. Even a good plan has long losing streaks.
