for Prop Firm Traders

What it does: Tells you exactly how many lots to trade based on your account balance, risk percentage, and stop loss. Instead of guessing your trade size, enter your parameters and the calculator returns the optimal lot size to keep your risk within your defined limit.

How to use it:

• Enter your account balance or select a preset (5K, 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 200K).
• Set your risk per trade as a percentage (%) or dollar amount ($). Most traders use 1–2%.
• Enter your stop loss distance in pips or points. Use the toggle to switch between the two — “points” matches what MT5 displays.
• Select the symbol you are trading (e.g., EURUSD, XAUUSD, US500).
• The calculator returns your position size in lots, the current live price, and the dollar amount at risk.

Why it matters: Position sizing is the foundation of risk management. Trading too large risks blowing your account on a single bad trade. Trading too small leaves profits on the table. This calculator removes the guesswork so every trade is sized to your exact risk tolerance — which is critical for passing prop firm challenges and staying funded.

What it does: Shows you how much capital is required to open and hold a position at a given leverage. It helps you understand your margin requirements before placing a trade, so you avoid margin calls and unexpected position closures.

How to use it:

• Select your FundingTraders account type (2-Step Pro, 1-Step Pro, or Instant Funding). The leverage is automatically set based on your account and the symbol.
• Enter your trade size in lots.
• Select your symbol.
• The calculator returns the required margin to open that position, plus a “Margin Used %” bar showing how much of your account balance would be tied up.

What it does: Checks whether your trading profits are spread evenly across multiple days — a requirement for payout eligibility on your prop firm account. It tells you if your highest single-day profit exceeds the allowed percentage of your total profits.

How to use it:

• Enter your total profit so far.
• Enter your highest single-day profit.
• Select your account type to apply the correct threshold (50% for 1-Step Pro, 15% for Instant Funded).
• The calculator shows your current consistency score and tells you whether you qualify for a payout — or how much more you need to trade.
• Use the “Simulate Future Days” feature to add hypothetical profits and see how your score changes before you actually trade.

Why it matters: The consistency score is one of the most common reasons traders get their payout delayed. Many traders hit their profit target but can’t withdraw because one big day skews their score. This calculator lets you track your score in real time so you always know where you stand before requesting a payout.

What it does: Shows you how a trading strategy would perform over time based on your win rate, average win, average loss, and position sizing. It projects potential outcomes across multiple trade sequences so you can test whether your approach is viable before risking real capital.

How to use it:

• Enter your starting account balance.
• Set your average win rate (%).
• Set your average risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
• Set your risk per trade (%).
• Enter the number of trades to simulate.
• The simulator projects your equity curve, expected drawdowns, and final balance across 50 randomized scenarios.

Why it matters: Most traders fail prop firm challenges not because of a bad strategy, but because of poor risk management. The strategy simulator shows you — before you start — whether your approach has a realistic chance of hitting the profit target without breaching the drawdown limit. Use it to fine-tune your risk per trade and win rate before committing real money to a challenge.
