Forex Pip Calc

Read full description

Forex Pip Calc is a focused pip-value, lot-size, position-sizing and margin calculator for active Forex, metals and crypto traders. Type entry, stop and target โ€” get risk, reward and the exact R:R ratio in your account currency, in one tap. Or flip to Risk mode to size your position from the equity you have and the risk you're willing to take. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข Four calc modes: - Price โ€” entry / stop / target with live R:R, partial results when you only fill some fields. - Pips โ€” raw pip-count โ†’ P&L for your lot size. - Risk โ€” position sizing: account equity + risk % + stop pips โ†’ required lot size. - Margin โ€” lot + leverage (1:1 to 1:1000) โ†’ margin tied up in your account currency. โ€ข 65 pairs across Majors, Crosses, Exotics, Gold, Silver, BTC, ETH, XRP. โ€ข Free-decimal lot size (0.001 to 1000) with MT4/5/cTrader-style preset chips for 1.00 / 0.10 / 0.01 / 0.001 โ€” or type your own value (0.5, 2.3, โ€ฆ). โ€ข Quick R-multiples: 1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R prefill the take-profit snap-to-pip. โ€ข Risk-percent presets: 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% โ€” the canonical retail risk tiers. โ€ข Pip-value ladder under every result, in your account currency: 0.001 / 0.01 / 0.10 / 1.00 lot at a glance. โ€ข Account currency in USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, AUD, CAD or NZD via live mid-rates, refreshed about every minute while the app is open and never in the background. The app shows how old each price is, and the latest snapshot stays cached for in-flight or low-signal use. โ€ข Watchlist of pinned pairs with their preferred calc mode, lot, risk % or leverage. โ€ข Saved trade setups (Pro): one-tap reload of an entire plan โ€” including risk-sizing presets and margin checks โ€” before a news release. โ€ข Long / short, snap-to-pip rounding, paste-safe price parsing (handles 1.16908, 1,16908 or no-decimal broker quotes). - Dark, light and system themes โ€” built for screens you stare at all day. WHO IT'S FOR Any Forex trader: scalpers, day traders, swing traders, prop-firm-account traders (FTMO, FundedNext, The Funded Trader, The5%ers), MT4 / MT5 / cTrader users, CFD traders. Also fast for gold, silver and crypto CFD setups. OFFLINE PIP MATH, LIVE RATES Every pair spec โ€” pip size, lot size, decimal places โ€” ships inside the app, so P&L, risk size and margin are computed entirely on-device. Pick USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, AUD, CAD or NZD as your account currency and live mid-rates from a public quote feed, refreshed about every minute while the app is open, handle the conversion. The last snapshot stays cached, and if no rate path is available the calculator transparently falls back to the pair's quote currency so you always see a number. BROKER SPECS Pip size, lot size and pip value follow the standard MT4 / MT5 / cTrader conventions used by most retail brokers (1 lot = 100,000 base for FX, 100 oz for gold, 5,000 oz for silver, 1 unit for BTC/ETH/XRP). Hungarian forint and Czech koruna pairs use the pip most brokers publish: 0.01 HUF and 0.001 CZK. Always cross-check the values against your broker's own contract specs โ€” especially for crypto and exotic FX, where some brokers use different lot definitions. PRO Pro is an auto-renewing yearly subscription. It unlocks every pair, removes ads and adds saved trade setups + unlimited watchlist. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each year unless cancelled. Manage or cancel anytime in your device's subscription settings โ€” you keep access until the current period ends.

Master yourself. Then the market. Most traders don't lose for lack of a strategy. They lose because, under pressure, they break their own rules โ€” chasing, oversizing, revenge-trading, moving stops. TradeByFire closes that gap. It grades the decision, never the dollars. This is the pocket companion to your TradeByFire desk, built on 8 behavior rules โ€” the composure spine every screen keys to: Size for Zero, Plan Before, React Don't Predict, Patience, Detach from Outcome, Take Profit Often, Roll With Profits, Withdraw Often. VISION โ€” Why you're really here. A few honest numbers become a ten-year picture of the life your trading is for: the month your profits replace your salary, the home, the travel, time with family, the freedom. Build a dream board and walk it slide by slide โ€” the destination that pulls you through the losing months. MINDSET โ€” A narrated masterclass in your pocket. A full library of lessons, each spoken aloud in a cloned human voice โ€” press play and listen hands-free, or read the slides: โ€ข Foundations โ€” the daily walk: the arrival, then all eight behaviors. โ€ข Thinking in Probabilities โ€” the probabilistic mind, expectancy math, and a written edge. โ€ข Elite Options โ€” the inner game, the crowd, and reading price: size to the event, trade the index not the premium, mark your lines. โ€ข Trading Composure โ€” befriend uncertainty, emotions as data, mindfulness, process over P&L. BEHAVIOR โ€” Your scorecard at a glance. The 8 behaviors, each with today's status, its streak โ€” the chain you don't break โ€” and a 30-day strip. One glance shows which behavior you're actually breaking. Tap the breathing orb for an intraday check-in. LEVELS โ€” Read the chart anywhere. A native candlestick chart with full-width support and resistance lines, a ticker rail, a level ladder, and an invert-scale toggle to kill directional bias. PLAN โ€” Your editable trade plan. A call and a put per ticker, each a full option spec you tap to edit, synced with the web Trade Plan. A guided Plan Wizard sizes every trade for zero โ€” pre-market read, sizing, commit. LOG โ€” Force deliberate execution. The log-a-trade gate IS the 8 behaviors โ€” a single Yes or No before any trade is recorded. A month calendar colored by behavior quality, a full history, and a per-day review. PAUSE & THE COMPOSURE COACH โ€” The intervention. When the urge hits โ€” to win it back, to chase, to size up โ€” one tap. The orb guides your breath, you name the feeling and see its consequence, and the Coach hands you the reframe. REVIEW โ€” Face the day, honestly. Every trade graded yes or no against all 8 rules into a red, yellow, or green day score, the week's rollup, your biggest leak and its compounding cost, and tomorrow's one rule. Plus News, Sector rotation, an Edge playbook, an Avoid list, and an ambient screensaver of your plan and your why. Built on a principle, not an algorithm: every score and reframe is deterministic and rule-based โ€” no AI, no predictions. Just your behavior, measured honestly. The app is free on your device โ€” explore every feature on sample data, or sign in with Google or Apple (free) to sync your own history. A TradeByFire membership unlocks your live daily plan and full synced history on every device โ€” subscribe right in the app, or use an existing membership from tradebyfire.com. One account unlocks web and iOS together. Monthly Membership ($19.99/month) is an auto-renewing subscription: payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase and renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends โ€” manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Day Pass ($0.99) is a one-time 24-hour purchase and does not renew. Terms (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ยท Privacy: https://tradebyfire.com/privacy TradeByFire does not place trades, connect to a broker, or give financial advice. It is a behavioral journal and discipline coach. The greatest edge in trading is not a strategy โ€” it is who you become.
