Frequently Asked Questions
Trade Advisor Calculator
Q: What is the purpose of the Trade Advisor Calculator?
A: It helps you manage your trades with discipline. By setting a goal (e.g., 10% profit in 6 trades), it suggests how much profit you need to make on each trade to reach your target. This encourages consistent, goal-oriented trading instead of emotional decisions.
Q: How do I use it?
A: Enter your initial capital, your goal number of trades, and your target profit percentage. The calculator will show a suggested profit for your next trade. After each trade, enter the profit or loss amount and click "I Won" or "I Lost" to update your session.
Q: What if I finish my trades but don't reach my goal?
A: Instead of starting over, you can simply increase the 'No. of trades' at any time. The calculator will then give you new suggestions for your additional trades, giving you another chance to reach your profit target within the same session.
Q: What does "Required Investment" mean?
A: This is an estimate of how much capital you need to invest in a single trade to achieve the suggested profit, based on the "Asset Profit %" you provide. For example, if your broker offers an 85% payout and you need to make a ₹100 profit, you would need to invest approximately ₹117.65.
Stock Stop-Loss Calculator
Q: Why is position sizing important in stock trading?
A: Proper position sizing is the most critical part of risk management. It ensures that you don't risk too much of your capital on a single trade, protecting you from significant losses and allowing you to stay in the market long-term.
Q: How does this calculator determine the "Max Quantity"?
A: It calculates the maximum number of shares you can buy without exceeding your defined risk. It uses your total capital, risk per trade (as a % or amount), the stock's current price, and your stop-loss price to determine a quantity that keeps your potential loss within your comfort zone.
Forex Position Size Calculator
Q: What does "Position Size in Lots" mean?
A: In Forex, trades are measured in "lots" (Standard, Mini, Micro). This calculator tells you how many lots you can trade based on your account balance, how much you're willing to risk, and where you place your stop-loss (in pips). This is essential for managing risk in the highly leveraged forex market.
Q: Why is the pip value simplified?
A: For simplicity, we use an approximate value for a standard pip (~₹800 for a standard lot on major pairs). The actual value can fluctuate based on the currency pair and your account's currency. For precise calculations, especially with exotic pairs, always refer to your broker's specifications.
Percentage & Simple Calculators
Q: How can the Percentage Calculator help in trading?
A: Percentages are fundamental to finance. You can use it to quickly calculate your portfolio's percentage gains or losses, figure out the percentage change in a stock's price, calculate commissions, or understand economic data reported in percentages.
