Introduction
Forex Trading Calculator Unveils the Final Profit Blueprint for Smart Traders (Part 3 of 3)
In the final stretch of our 3-part trading series, our funded trader Alex is almost ready to place his EUR/USD trade.
In Part 1, he calculated his margin using the forex trading calculator.
In Part 2, he determined his pip value and scaled his position size to protect capital.
Now, in Part 3, he brings everything together.
With the position price tool and profit calculator, Alex will:
- Confirm his entry level
- Map out take profit and stop loss zones
- Forecast potential gains
- Lock in his reward-to-risk expectations
This final act ensures that Alex trades with purpose, not just a prediction.
Setting the Entry with the Position Price Tool
Alex revisits the Lionheart position price tool. Based on his technical analysis, he believes a break above 1.1000 on EUR/USD signals bullish momentum. His stop loss is set at 40 pips below entry, and the target is 100 pips above.
He enters the following:
|
Variable |
Value |
| Entry Price | 1.1000 |
| Stop Loss (in pips) | 40 |
| Take Profit (in pips) | 100 |
| Trade Direction | Buy (Long) |
Calculator Output:
- Stop Loss Level: 1.0960
- Take Profit Level: 1.1100
That’s his structure. But what’s the payout?
Using the Forex Trading Calculator to Project Profit
Now Alex opens the profit calculator and inputs:
|
Variable |
Value |
| Entry Price | 1.1000 |
| Exit Price | 1.1100 |
| Position Size | 0.5 lots |
| Direction | Long (Buy) |
| Pair | EUR/USD |
Result:
The calculator shows a potential profit of $500, based on the 100-pip move and 0.5 lot position size (with pip value at $5 per pip).
If the stop is hit at 1.0960, the loss would be $200—the exact amount Alex defined earlier as his max risk.
He smiles. The numbers all align. His trade now has a 2.5:1 reward-to-risk ratio, ideal for a funded trader like him.
The Psychology Behind Profit Planning
Without numbers, trading becomes a guessing game. With the forex trading calculator, Alex is:
- Confident because he sees the exact payout
- Calm because risk is locked in
- Consistent because every trade follows the same logic
Having this structure in place is what separates gamblers from professionals.
