Free futures trading calculators
Four calculators for the numbers that decide whether a trading plan survives contact with a real account. No signup, nothing uploaded, and nothing here is financial advice.
Futures tick value calculator
Convert ticks and points into dollars on twelve contracts: ES, NQ, YM, RTY, CL and GC, and the micros MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MCL and MGC.
Position size calculator
Work out how many contracts your stop allows on the risk you have set, and what rounding up would really cost you.
Expectancy calculator
Work out what an average trade is worth at your win rate, and the win rate your reward-to-risk actually needs to break even.
Risk of ruin and drawdown recovery
Model why a positive edge still ends accounts at the wrong size, and what a drawdown really costs to climb back out of.
These are generic until you use your own numbers. The Trade Lab reads a NinjaTrader export and works out the expectancy, win rate and average winner of the trades in it. That is a record of what those trades did, not a measure of what the next ones will. In your browser, with nothing uploaded.
For the reasoning rather than the arithmetic, the guides cover how the exports work, what the columns mean, and where the costs hide.
