Futures
Futures Calculator
A futures calculator computes profit and loss and position size using each contract’s tick value and point value (for example ES, NQ, CL, GC). Futures traders use it to size contracts from risk per trade and to estimate P&L from entry, exit, and contract count without looking up tick specs manually.
Calculate P&L and position size for ES, NQ, CL, GC and other contracts with built-in tick values.
Frequently asked questions
How is futures P&L calculated?
Multiply the price change in points by the contract point value and number of contracts. Each futures symbol has a fixed dollar value per point defined by the exchange.
How do I calculate futures position size from risk?
Divide dollar risk per trade by risk per contract (stop distance in points × point value). The result is the number of contracts to hold within your risk limit.
