Tools

Do the maths before the trade, not after. Calculators for sizing and cost, and a live clock of the trading sessions in your time zone.

01 / tool

Position size calculator

Enter how much of your account you are prepared to lose if the stop-loss is hit, and how far away the stop is. The calculator returns the position size that keeps the loss at that amount.

02 / tool

Pip value calculator

A pip is the unit price moves are counted in. What it is worth in money depends on the pair, the trade size and your account currency. This calculator does the conversion.

03 / tool

Margin calculator

Margin is the deposit your broker holds while a leveraged position is open. It is set by the position’s full value and the leverage allowed for that instrument.

04 / tool

Profit and loss calculator

Use it to see what a move to your stop-loss or target would mean in money before you place a trade, or to check a closed trade against your statement.

05 / tool

Market hours, live

Forex trades around the clock on weekdays, but activity follows the business day in the big centres. The clock shows which sessions are open now, when the next one starts, and when they overlap, converted to your time zone.
