TL;DR: Yes, FundedNext offers built-in CFDs calculators for lot size (risk), profit/loss estimation, and margin requirement. These tools are available directly inside our Calculator Section to help you trade smarter, whether you're managing position size, evaluating trade setups, or checking if you have enough margin.
What is the FundedNext CFDs calculator about?
The FundedNext CFDs Calculator is a suite of 3 trading tools designed for traders who want to plan their positions with clarity and discipline. These calculators help you calculate:
How much lot size you can open based on your account balance and risk %
How much profit or loss you might make from a trade setup
How much margin you’ll need to open a position at current price and leverage
These are crucial for CFDs traders working with including Forex Currencies, Indices, and Commodities on platforms like MT5, MT4, cTrader, and Match-Trader.
1. Lot Size: Based on Risk % (Most Used)
This calculator helps you determine the lot size to use in a trade based on:
Account balance
Risk percentage (e.g., 1% or 2%)
Entry price and stop-loss level
Example:
If your balance is $10,000, and you want to risk 1%, with an entry at 1.1500 and a stop-loss at 1.1600, the calculator suggests 0.10 lots.
2. Profit/Loss Calculator: Estimate Your Trade Outcome
Use this to estimate how much you can gain or lose from a trade.
It considers:
Trade direction (Buy/Sell)
Entry price
Exit price
Number of lots
Example:
If you buy 2 lots of EUR/USD at $1.1000 and plan to exit at $1.1050, the calculator shows your estimated profit as $1,000.
Helps traders decide if a setup is worth entering.
3. Margin Calculator: Know If You Can Afford the Trade
This calculator shows the minimum margin needed to open a position based on:
Account model and leverage
Account Balance
Symbol (e.g., XAU/USD, NAS100)
Current market price
Lot size
Example:
Trading 1 lot of a pair priced at $1.2000 with 100:1 leverage might require ~$1,200 in margin.
Great for checking if you have enough funds in your account.
4. Swap Calculator: Estimate Overnight Holding Fees
The Swap Calculator allows you to calculate the swap fees in dollars when holding a position overnight across various trading instruments, including Forex, Cryptocurrencies, Indices, and Commodities.
This tool helps you estimate the cost incurred when a trade extends past the daily market close. The result is based on:
Platform (MT4, MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader)
Trading instrument
Trade direction (Buy/Sell)
Swap points
Lot size
Trade period (date range)
Example:
Suppose you're trading XAUUSD (Gold) on MT4/MT5/cTrader, and you want to buy 2 lots while holding the position from August 7 to August 11.
The Swap Points for buying are -43.537.
When you input these into the calculator, it shows a Swap Fee of -$174.15, meaning you'll be charged this amount in overnight holding costs.
This tool is especially useful for swing traders or anyone managing trades beyond a single day, helping them make informed decisions by factoring in swap-related expenses.
