TradeCalc Position Size Calc
TradeCalc: the position size calculator app for iPhone, for forex, futures, crypto and stocks
Position sizing and trading tools, right on your iPhone
Before every trade you need the same answer: how big should the position be so that a stop loss costs you only the amount you decided to risk? Doing it by hand or in a spreadsheet is slow, and pip and tick values differ from one market to the next.
TradeCalc takes your balance, your risk and your stop loss and gives you the position size straight away, with the potential profit and loss. Margin, pip value, drawdown, risk/reward, pivot points and Fibonacci levels are in the same app. It is a calculator: no account to create, and calculations work without internet.
How it works
- 1
Enter your risk
Type your account balance, the risk you accept (a percentage or a fixed amount) and your stop loss, in pips, ticks or price levels.
- 2
Pick your market
Forex pairs with an automatic pip value, futures with their tick values, crypto and stocks. The calculator adapts to the instrument.
- 3
Read the result
Your position size appears as you type, together with your potential profit and loss. Then check margin, drawdown or the risk/reward ratio with the other tools.

Compared with what you use today
- A web calculator
- Fine for a one-off figure, but you work in a browser and enter your details again each time. TradeCalc is an app, works without internet for calculations and keeps your account profiles and favorites on your device.
- A spreadsheet
- Flexible, but you build and maintain the formulas and look up the pip or tick value of each instrument yourself. TradeCalc applies the pip value for forex pairs and the tick values for futures for you.
- Your broker platform's calculator
- Handy for that broker's instruments, but it belongs to that platform. TradeCalc is independent: no account, and forex, futures, crypto and stocks in the same app.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate position size?
Decide how much of your balance you risk on the trade, then divide that amount by the cost of your stop loss per unit (pip, tick or price move). In TradeCalc you enter the balance, the risk as a percentage or a fixed amount, and the stop loss, and it returns the position size straight away.
Is there a position size calculator app for forex, futures and crypto?
Yes. TradeCalc covers forex (major, minor and exotic pairs, with automatic pip value), futures such as ES, NQ, YM, CL, GC, MES and MNQ (with tick values), cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH and SOL, and stocks. It is an iPhone app.
Is there a position size calculator without a subscription?
