Things you should know

  1. This CFD trading calculator is designed for retail clients only. The calculations are based on the assumption that this is your only position in your account.
  2. This CFD trading calculator allows you to calculate the estimated potential profit or loss of a trade. It does so by multiplying the difference in price from when you opened your position to when you closed it, multiplied by your total position size. The total position size is the Units multiplied by your entry price.
  3. This calculator does not take into account:
    1. spreads and/or commissions;
    2. holding costs;
    3. the amount of capital deposited in your account, which would determine your margin close-out level. Depending on margin rates and requirements, your positions may be closed-out before the price reaches your stop-loss; or
    4. Negative balance protection which limits your actual losses to the funds in your account and is available for retail accounts.
  4. Please note that the above calculations are only provided for informational purposes and may differ from actual calculations. You should not rely upon it as being complete or up to date. Information may be subject to change at any time.
