They are as accurate as the numbers you enter and the model behind them. Brokers differ in contract size, pip definition, margin rules and swap, so check your symbol’s specification in your platform. Our Methodology page explains the formulas and their limits.

The usual causes are a different contract size, a different pip definition, rounding to your broker’s lot step, spread and commission, and account currency conversion. Match those first, then compare again.

The calculations run in your browser. The Trading Journal keeps its entries in your browser’s local storage on your own device, so clearing site data removes them. Our Privacy Policy explains cookies and analytics.

Yes. We build and check every page at phone widths as well as on desktop.

They are built for forex, gold and similar CFD-style contracts of the kind MetaTrader shows. Other markets use different contract and margin rules, so treat any figure with care and check it against your own platform.

Divide the amount you are willing to lose by the cost of your stop for one lot. That cost is the stop distance multiplied by the value of one price unit per lot. Then round down to your broker’s lot step. The Position Size Calculator does it for you.

Risk to reward compares what you aim to make with what you risk. The break-even win rate is 1 divided by (1 plus the ratio). At 1:1 that is 50 percent, and at 1:2 it is 33.3 percent, before costs. The Risk/Reward Calculator includes the effect of spread.

It is the average result per trade, usually measured in units of your risk. A positive number means the plan made money on average over the sample you tested. See the Expectancy Calculator.

It is the chance that a plan hits a loss limit you define, within a number of trades. It depends on win rate, payoff and how much you risk per trade. Try the Risk of Ruin Calculator.

The gain needed equals the loss divided by what is left. A 20 percent loss needs a 25 percent gain, and a 50 percent loss needs 100 percent. The Drawdown Recovery Calculator shows the table.

A charge or credit for holding a position past the broker’s daily rollover. The amount is set by your broker and differs by symbol and direction. The Swap and Rollover Calculator turns your broker’s figure into a cost.

It depends on who you ask. Some brokers call 0.01 a pip, others 0.10, and some quote points or ticks instead. Read your symbol specification, then use the XAUUSD pip, point and tick calculator to turn it into dollars.

Many brokers use 100 troy ounces per 1.00 lot, but it varies. The contract size in your platform’s symbol specification is the figure that counts.

Work from the stop distance in dollars. If you risk $100 with a $5.00 stop on a 100 oz contract, the size is 0.20 lot. The XAUUSD Lot Size Calculator lets you set the contract size your broker uses.

Margin is lots times contract size times price, divided by leverage. At an example price of $2,400, 1.00 lot on a 100 oz contract at 1:100 needs $2,400. Your broker’s own margin rules can differ.

No. They are independent tools, and they are not made or endorsed by The5ers or any other firm. We build them from public rule pages, and the firm’s own rules always win.

Today the prop firm tools cover The5ers. Rules differ between firms and change often, so each page states the rules it uses. The general tools work with any account. See the Prop firm hub.

The daily limit resets each day and sits a set distance under where your day began. The max loss limit is a floor under the whole account, and on some plans it stays fixed while on others it trails your highs. Check which your plan uses.

They help you size trades and see your limits. No tool can promise a pass or a funded account. Your plan and your discipline decide that.

All seven run on MetaTrader 5. Lot Architect, Trail Architect and M1 GoldSniper Pro also have MetaTrader 4 versions.
