Understanding the Results

Target Price

This is the exact price level you should enter in your trading platform for your order.

💡 Pro Tip: Always verify the calculated price makes sense:
• Long trades: Target should be ABOVE entry
• Short trades: Target should be BELOW entry
• For stop-loss on long: Price should be BELOW entry
• For stop-loss on short: Price should be ABOVE entry

Profit/Loss Value

This shows how much you'll make (or lose) if price reaches your target, based on your lot size.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️ Wrong Direction Selected
Double-check your direction matches your trade. A long trade with the wrong direction will give you a target below entry instead of above.

⚠️ Pip Size Confusion
Remember:
• Most pairs: 1 pip = 0.0001 (EUR/USD: 1.0850 → 1.0851)
• JPY pairs: 1 pip = 0.01 (USD/JPY: 148.50 → 148.51)
• Gold: 1 pip = 0.1 ($2650.0 → $2650.1)

⚠️ Ignoring Spread
The calculator shows pure price movement. Account for broker spread when setting orders, especially on stop-losses.

Tips for Best Results

Verify Pip Size: Check that the pip distance matches your strategy's definition (some strategies count in points vs pips)
Round to Broker Precision: Some brokers only accept prices to certain decimal places (e.g., 2 decimals for JPY pairs)
Account for Spread: Add a few pips buffer to stop-losses to avoid premature stops from spread
Check Your Math: For long trades going up 50 pips, the target should be entry + (50 × pip size)
Use with Risk Calculator: Combine with the Position Size calculator to determine proper lot size first

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my target price seems wrong?

Check: (1) Direction is correct, (2) Entry price is accurate, (3) You're using the right currency pair, (4) Pip distance is reasonable for that pair.

Can I use negative pips?

No, use the direction selector instead. For a long trade with stop-loss below, enter positive pips and select "Long" - the calculator adjusts direction appropriately.

Does this work for all pairs?

Yes, the calculator automatically handles different pip sizes (0.0001 for most pairs, 0.01 for JPY pairs, 0.1 for Gold, etc.)

Why does my profit/loss value differ from my platform?

Slight differences can occur due to: (1) Real-time exchange rate fluctuations, (2) Different pip value calculations, (3) Broker-specific conversions. The calculator provides accurate estimates.
