Investment Calculator

A handy and simple tool, thecoinbrits Investment Calculator helps you to automatically calculate the basics of your trading position, which include margin, spread, commission, swap short, swap long, and pip value. This all-in-one calculator is particularly useful when you wish to determine the above values for multiple open positions on various instrument types.

At the calculator:

> Select the investment plan you are interested in.

> Enter amount you wish to deposit.

> Estimated profit would be displayed immedaitely

> Margin - This the required capital, or balance, that is needed to maintain your open position.

> Spread - This is the difference between the bid and ask price. It is the amount that you pay when you open a position. The spread value calculated here is based on the average spread of the previous trading day. As the spread changes dynamically, depending on market conditions, the final spread value can only be determined at the time the position is opened.

> Commission - Commission is a fee charged for trading on Raw Spread and Zero accounts. It applies for each lot traded and for both opening and closing a position. The commission value you see in the calculation results is the total fee for both sides of a trade (open and close), which will be charged when opening the position. It’s worth noting that spreads are included in the calculation of the order’s floating profit and loss, while commission fees are a separate cost.

> Swap short and long - Swap is the interest applied to trading positions that are left open overnight, and can be long or short depending on the trade. Swap short is the rate for Sell positions while long is for Buy positions.

> Pip value - This determines the value of 1 pip, which helps to calculate how much money a trader will earn, or lose, if the price of a trade were to move by a pip. The pip value is calculated in quote currency with the formula, Lots x Contract size x Pip Size.

Leverage is greyed out for certain instruments as they have a preset leverage. In such instances the leverage is fixed, it cannot be changed and is not affected by the leverage in your trading account.
