This calculator is for educational purposes only. It does not predict real trading outcomes and should not be considered financial advice. Real results are also affected by spreads, commissions, financing costs and slippage, and trading can result in the loss of the full amount committed.
How to read the result
The favourable and adverse figures are deliberately shown together. A leverage multiplier scales both equally, which is the single most important idea for a new trader to internalise: leverage does not improve a strategy, it magnifies whatever the strategy already does.
Real outcomes also include spreads, commissions, overnight financing and slippage, none of which are modelled here. Read risk management in trading for position sizing, and our IronBridge Markets review for how platform costs are assessed.
