Stocks Trading Profit and Loss Calculator

The Indices Trading Profit and Loss Calculator is a trade planning tool that estimates the outcome of a hypothetical CFD position before you place an order. Enter your account type, leverage, investment, position direction, and a historical price range - the calculator returns an estimated profit or loss based on those inputs. It is designed for pre-trade analysis only, does not predict future results, and all figures shown are illustrative.

To use the calculator, select the following:

• Order type: choose Buy or Sell depending on your intended position direction.
• Trading instrument: select a Stocks instrument. Full contract conditions are on the Contract specifications page.
• Volume: enter your investment amount and leverage to define the position size.
• Price range: use the date selectors or chart to set the entry and exit price reference.

The calculator then displays the estimated profit or loss for the defined scenario. Use it as a planning reference, not as a basis for investment decisions.

The calculator supports all major asset classes available on the platform, including:

• Forex currency pairs
• Commodities
• Indices
• Stocks

All major Stocks instruments are supported.

Always select the correct symbol to ensure the applicable contract size, tick value, and commission rate are used in the calculation.

You can model both position directions for Stocks instruments:

• Buy (Long) orders
• Sell (Short) orders

Both directions include the applicable commission and spread for your selected account type in the estimated result.

Yes, both commissions and spreads are included. Commission is applied to both the opening and closing of the position and varies by account type - Prime, ECN, or Pro. Note that overnight swap charges are not included. If you are modelling a position held beyond the daily rollover, refer to the swap rate for your instrument on the Contract Specifications page.

Yes. The calculator is fully responsive and accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers without any additional software. For the most comfortable experience with the interactive chart, a larger screen is recommended.

The calculator uses historical price data for Stocks instruments, updated regularly to reflect recent sessions. Prices shown may not match the current live quote. Always confirm the latest market price for your instrument in your trading platform before placing a trade, as conditions can change between the time you use the calculator and execution.

1. Select your account type to apply the correct fees.
2. Choose a Stocks instrument.
3. Set your leverage and investment amount.
4. Select Buy or Sell.
5. Define the date range to set the entry and exit price reference.

Use the result as a planning reference, not as a forecast of actual performance.

Margin is the portion of your account balance held as collateral while a leveraged position is open. It is not a fee. The required amount is:

Margin = (Lots × Contract Size × Entry Price) ÷ Leverage

If your equity falls below the required margin level, open positions may be subject to a margin call or automatic close-out. Monitor your free margin before and during any open trade.

A lot is the standardised unit of trade volume. The contract size per lot varies by instrument - instruments in the Stocks category carry a different contract size than other instrument types. Common lot sizes:

• Standard lot - the base contract unit for the instrument.
• Mini lot - 0.1 of a standard lot.
• Micro lot - 0.01 of a standard lot.

The exact contract size for each Stocks instrument is listed on the Contract Specifications page.
