Risk and money management calculators
Sizing and risk arithmetic come first. These tools settle what every trade plan must answer before entry: how many lots, where the numbers break even, and what the method earns per trade.
Trade planning and cost calculators
These tools convert chart levels into money and back, and show what the round trip actually costs. Use them at the planning stage, before the order ticket is open.
Live market data
Live views of the market from official TradingView widgets and our own session clock. Data updates by itself. The guide under each tool explains how to read it.
Journal and reference tables
The tools that build the habit. The journal keeps your record. The reference pages hold the facts that change slowly and matter constantly.

How the forex tools work together
The tools form one loop. Start on the chart and find a setup. Put the stop where the idea fails, then let the position size calculator set the lots. Check the risk reward calculator to see what the target pays against that stop. Want to see it before you commit? The trade risk visualizer draws the whole trade to scale.
Next, confirm the timing. Is the right session open? Is there red-folder news inside your window? Before you add a second position, run the portfolio heat calculator. Correlated trades are one bet wearing several tickets, and that is where accounts break.
After the trade, log it in the trading journal. Once 30 or more trades pile up, feed your winning percentage and averages into the expectancy calculator and the risk of ruin calculator. Those two numbers answer the only questions that matter. Does the method earn its risk? Can the risk level survive a normal losing streak? Plan, size, log, review. That loop is the whole system.
What trading costs you, and how to shrink it
Costs decide more outcomes than most traders admit. Use the spread comparison to find your true all-in cost per trade, commission included. Holding overnight? The swap calculator prices that side, which quietly drains long holds. Cashback gives some of it back, and the rebate calculator shows how much. It also shows why chasing rebates with extra trades is negative arithmetic.
Every pip you stop paying lowers the bar your method must clear. The breakeven calculator makes that exact. Cut a 1.4 pip cost to 0.8 and a scalping method that needed 55% winners might need 52%. Small numbers, large consequences over a year.
How these tools are built and tested
Trading calculators are easy to get subtly wrong. A pip value that ignores the quote currency, a Kelly formula that drops the payoff term, a correlation matrix that is not symmetric. Wrong numbers here cost real money, so we hold them to a standard.
Every formula comes from a published source, not from a blog post. Kelly sizing follows the original criterion. Risk of ruin uses the fixed-fractional model from Perry Kaufman. Portfolio heat aggregates correlated risk with the standard quadratic form. Where a model rests on assumptions that real markets break, the page says so in plain words instead of hiding it.
We then run each calculator headlessly before it goes live. That means extracting the page script, firing it at hand-computed cases, and probing the edges: zero, negative, extreme and non-numeric input. A calculator that can show NaN to a user does not ship. Reference data carries a visible review date, because a stale number dressed up as current beats no number only in the worst sense.
Privacy: your numbers stay on your device
The calculators do their arithmetic in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us, logged, or stored on a server. The trading journal is the only tool that keeps data, and it writes to your own browser storage. We could not read your trade history if we wanted to. Export it to CSV whenever you like, because clearing your browser data also clears the journal.
Live market pages embed official TradingView widgets under their public embed licence. Those widgets talk to TradingView, not to us. Our currency converter reads published European Central Bank reference rates. If that feed goes quiet, it falls back to a stored table and says so, so the page still works.
Why these tools are free
Competing tool pages usually carry broker banners, and the tool exists to serve the banner. We run the opposite trade. The tools are free and honest, and the indicator library is what we hope you download next. Traders who size risk properly stay in the market long enough to value good indicators. That is the whole business model.
A few pages link to brokers or funded-account programs we use ourselves. We label those as partner links and put a disclosure directly above them. They never change what a calculator tells you. We test every indicator download per our Editorial and Testing Policy and ship it as compiled MT4 and MT5 files.
How often the data is refreshed
Static data goes stale. So we publish the refresh schedule instead of pretending the numbers are live. We rebuild the bank holiday calendar each December for the year ahead. Every central bank meeting triggers a review of the interest rate tracker. Long-run averages fill the correlation matrix, and we revisit them quarterly. Each page shows its own review date near the top.

FAQ
Are these forex tools really free?
Yes. All 41 tools are free and none require an account. The calculators run entirely in your browser. The live-data pages use official TradingView widgets under their embed licence.
Do the calculators store my numbers?
No. They compute in your browser and store nothing. The trading journal is the one tool that saves data, and it saves only to your own browser storage, never to our server.
Which tool should a beginner start with?
Start with the position size calculator. Sizing applies to every single trade you will ever take. The market hours clock and the economic calendar come next. Timing and news awareness cost nothing to learn and prevent expensive mistakes.
Can I use these tools on my phone?
Yes. Every page is responsive and the calculators work with touch input. The wider tables and the correlation matrix scroll sideways on small screens rather than shrinking to an unreadable size.
How accurate are the numbers?
The arithmetic is exact for the inputs you give. The judgement is yours. A pip value or a lot size is a fact. An expectancy figure is only as good as the sample behind it, and a correlation is a long-run average that drifts. Each page states which kind of number it is producing.
Will using these tools make my trading profitable?
No tool can promise that. They make your risk arithmetic exact and your record honest, which removes the most common self-inflicted damage. The rest depends on your method and your discipline. Results are not guaranteed; past performance is not indicative of future results.
