Build a deeper understanding of trading risk, technical analysis, market fundamentals and portfolio decisions through structured education.
Educational tools only. Figures depend on your inputs and assumptions, do not provide investment advice, and may not reflect actual execution or current market conditions.
Which free trading calculator should you use?
The right calculation depends on the question you are trying to answer. Position sizing estimates the quantity consistent with a predetermined risk budget; risk-to-reward assesses proposed stops and targets; expectancy describes the arithmetic of a sequence of winners and losers. For futures, check contract multipliers; for stock valuations and fixed income, examine cash flows, discount rates and assumptions.
Our free multi-asset toolkit covers forex, shares, indices, commodities, bonds and general crypto unit sizing. Each tool includes formulas, worked examples, limitations and links to educational context, helping you reproduce its logic rather than rely on an unexplained result.

Build a more complete analytical process
Start with maximum intended loss
A position may fit a percentage risk target on paper but still be unsuitable for an account’s leverage constraints or execution conditions. Compare planned stop distance, contract value, transaction costs and liquidity before interpreting a risk number.
Account for trading friction
A bid–ask spread, slippage, financing and commissions reduce realised performance. A favourable modelled expectancy can become unfavourable after costs; calculated stop-loss amounts are not guarantees of maximum realised loss.
Interpret strategy statistics cautiously
Expectancy is an average conditional on win-rate and payoff assumptions. Monte Carlo simulation explores hypothetical sequences under its own simplified distribution, and drawdown recovery demonstrates that percentage losses and recoveries are asymmetric. These do not establish a reliable prediction of future strategy performance.
Separate valuation from trading signals
Discounted cash flow valuation depends on business forecasts and terminal assumptions. Bond yield, duration and DV01 depend on scheduled payments and yield changes. These tools can aid financial education but they cannot determine whether a security should be bought or sold.
Frequently asked questions
Are the trading tools free?
Yes. The 12 calculators are available without an account or paid course enrolment. They process inputs in the visitor's browser.
Do the tools use live market prices or broker margins?
No. They rely on inputs entered by visitors and disclosed contract conventions. Check current prices, exchange specifications and margin figures independently.
What should beginners use first?
Start with Position Size, Risk-to-Reward, Trading Costs and Drawdown Recovery to understand basic trade and capital risk.
Are these calculations financial advice?
No. Results are general educational scenarios. They are not buy or sell recommendations, investment research or guaranteed outcomes.
What is the difference between the Stock DCF and Bond Duration tools?
DCF values a forecast of business cash flow; bond yield and duration calculate implied bond cash-flow yield and approximate interest-rate sensitivity.

All calculators are for general educational and illustrative use. They are not personalised financial advice, live market data, trading signals or forecasts. Outputs depend on user-supplied inputs, market conventions and model assumptions.
