Honest math, on your numbers.
One live panel fed by the board, ten planning calculators fed only by what you type. Every output states its formula; none of it is financial advice.

Tell it what you trade.
Kept in this browser only. The best-hour report reads it to know which instruments to measure, and the challenge planner opens on the account size you saved.
Your best hour, measured
Pick your instruments and this fills in.
For every instrument you save, the measured tightest hour of day appears here, from the research dataset's hour-of-day profile over the covered week.
Turn spreads into dollars.
Current spread plus each firm's published round-turn commission, at your size.

These are sampled spreads from the feeds we track, not quotes you can trade on. The order can shift as new samples arrive. Cost = current spread + published round-turn commission; slippage is excluded here. Monthly figure assumes 21 trading days.
Decide the size before the entry.
What one trade is allowed to cost you, and what a single pip is worth on the instrument you are actually trading.
Position size
How many lots can I trade so a stopped-out trade loses exactly what I planned?
Position size
5.00 lots
Lots = (account x risk percent) / (stop in pips x pip value per lot). Pip value defaults to $10, the one-lot EUR/USD convention; adjust it per instrument, or work it out in the pip value tool.
Pip value
What is one pip worth in dollars at my lot size, on this instrument?
Pip value at 1.00 lots
$10.00
Pip value = pip size x contract size x quote-to-USD rate, per lot. The rate is 1 for pairs quoted in dollars; otherwise enter what one unit of the quote currency is worth in dollars. The defaults reproduce the standard EUR/USD lot at $10 per pip.
Turn a firm's limits into trades.
A percentage limit tells you less than the number of ordinary losses it survives, and less again than what recovering from one costs.
Drawdown guard
How many losing trades in a row do this firm's limits actually allow at my risk?
Full-risk losses to the daily stop
5 trades
One full-risk trade uses 20% of the daily limit.
Losing streaks assume every loss is exactly your per-trade risk. Trailing drawdown rules differ by firm; check the firm's own definition.
Loss recovery
How much harder is the climb back than the fall was, in my own numbers?
Gain needed to recover
8.7%
- 10% down needs 11.1% back
- 20% down needs 25% back
- 30% down needs 42.9% back
- 50% down needs 100% back
Recovery percent = drawdown in dollars / current balance. The hole always deepens faster than it refills; that asymmetry is the whole case for small risk per trade.
What the target actually pays.
The profit split applied to a real target, and whether your stop, target and win rate combine into a positive expectancy at all.
Profit target
What does an evaluation target mean in dollars, and what would my split of it pay?
Your share at that point
$6,400.00
Trader share = target x split percent, before any fees or resets. Split figures come from each firm's terms; the ones on this site are placeholders.
Risk to reward
Do my stop, target and win rate add up to an edge at all?
Expectancy per trade
+0.35 R
Expectancy = win rate x reward minus loss rate x risk, in R (one R is your per-trade risk). It only grades the three numbers you typed; it cannot tell you whether the win rate itself is real.
Price the attempt before you pay it.
What a challenge is statistically worth on your numbers: how often it passes, the largest size the rules survive, whether the fee is positive expectation at all, and the chance the limits ever catch your edge.
Pass probability
With my win rate, reward-to-risk and risk per trade, how often does this challenge actually pass?
Simulated pass rate
97.8%
A seeded simulation of 2,000 challenges, trade by trade: fixed win rate and R multiple, fixed fractional risk, daily limit checked against each day's start, total drawdown against the initial balance, no slippage and no correlation between trades. The same inputs always produce the same figure. A model, not a promise.
Max lots before breach
What is the largest size where one stopped-out trade still cannot end the account?
Largest safe size
25.00 lots
Max lots = the smaller of (account x daily loss percent) and (account x remaining drawdown percent), divided by (stop in pips x pip value per lot). One stop-out at this size lands exactly on the tighter limit, so trade below it, not at it.
Challenge ROI
Given a fee, a split and an honest pass estimate, is this attempt positive expectation at all?
Expected value per attempt
$1,225.00
EV = pass probability x first payout minus the fee, where the payout is the profit target x account x your split, plus the refunded fee where offered. The pass probability is YOUR estimate; the pass probability calculator on this page is one honest way to get it. Planning arithmetic, not advice.
Risk of ruin
If I keep trading this exact edge, what is the chance the drawdown limit ever gets me?
Chance of ever hitting the limit
0.7%
A deterministic model, not a prediction or measured data: 44 simulated equity paths over 90 trades from your inputs, 0 of them hitting the limit here. The bright line is the exact expected value.
The exact gambler's ruin probability over an unlimited number of trades: fixed win rate and R multiple, fixed dollar risk per trade, independent trades. At zero or negative expectancy the answer is always 100 percent. Halving your risk squares this probability, which is the whole argument for small size.
Each calculator has its own page
The same arithmetic, with the formula written out and the questions it raises answered.
The calculators on this page run in your browser over the numbers you type. Nothing you type into them is stored or sent anywhere, and no result is a recommendation. Two things above work differently and say so: your trading profile is saved in this browser, where the best-hour report and the challenge planner read it, and the best-hour report sends the instruments you saved to the research API so it can answer for them. The live panel is the only section fed by sampled market data, under the disclosure state shown on it.
How the live figures are madeQuick answers.
Short answers about what these calculators do with your numbers, and about the claims they refuse to make.
Do the calculators use live data?
Only the live cost panel reads the board's feed. Every other calculator is plain arithmetic over the numbers you type, so the answers are yours, not sampled.
Is anything I type saved or sent anywhere?
The calculators, no. They run in your browser over the numbers you type and nothing leaves the page. The one thing kept is your trading profile, in this browser only, and clearing it removes it. The best-hour report sends only the instrument codes you saved, so the research API can answer for them.
Why do results differ from my account statement?
The tools use published commissions, your own inputs, and clearly labeled assumptions where one is needed. Real fills vary by account type, server, liquidity and time of day.
What does R mean in the risk tools?
One R is the amount you risk on a single trade. A 1.5R winner makes one and a half times what a full stop loses, and expectancy per trade is the long-run average result in R.
Is this financial advice?
No. The calculators are planning arithmetic over inputs you control, not a recommendation to trade any product or join any firm.
Why does the monthly figure assume 21 trading days?
It is a stated assumption, printed next to the number it feeds: a typical month holds about 21 trading days. Change the trades-per-day input and the monthly figure follows your own pace.
Is the pass probability a promise?
No. It is the arithmetic consequence of the win rate, reward and risk you typed, computed by a deterministic model. It describes your scenario, not your future.
This tool provides an indicative comparison of spreads and estimated execution costs based on periodic snapshots from connected data feeds and normalized trade assumptions. Displayed values are not tradable quotes and may differ from prices available on any provider's live accounts. Spreads vary by account type, server, liquidity conditions, and time of day. Competitor names and marks belong to their respective owners; no affiliation or endorsement is implied. The "Average Prop Firm" benchmark is a computed composite of sampled competitor feeds, not the published pricing of any specific firm. Cost estimates use a normalized trade scenario and do not constitute financial advice or a prediction of trading results.
