Plan the risk.
Size the position.
Choose your market, account size, risk, entry and stop loss. The calculator handles the sizing maths in the background. Educational tool only — always confirm the final order size with your broker.
Important: This calculator is an educational risk-planning tool, not a recommendation to trade or to use a particular risk percentage. Prices can gap and orders can slip. Broker specifications, spreads, commissions, financing and execution can change the actual result. Always confirm the live symbol specification before placing an order.
03 — THE TCH GLOSSARY
Learn the language.
Search common concepts used in the TCH Trader Development Programme.
- Base currency
- The first currency in a pair. In EUR/USD, EUR is the base currency.
- Quote currency
- The second currency in a pair. A EUR/USD quote says how many US dollars one euro costs.
- Pip
- A standard unit of price movement in a currency pair; for most EUR/USD quotes, one pip is 0.0001.
- Pipette
- One tenth of a pip in pairs commonly quoted to five decimal places.
- Spread
- The difference between the ask price and the bid price.
- Lot
- A standardised way to describe trade size. Contract units depend on the product and broker.
- Leverage
- Exposure to a larger position using a smaller margin deposit; it can magnify losses as well as gains.
- Margin
- Funds held to support an open leveraged position. Margin is not the maximum amount you could lose.
- Stop-loss

- Risk-to-reward
- Planned potential downside compared with the planned reward, before trading costs.
- Market structure
- The pattern of significant swing highs and lows used to describe a trend or range.
- Liquidity
- How readily an asset may trade; chart analysis may also discuss areas around clustered orders and prior highs or lows.
- Confirmation
- A predefined observation, such as a completed candle, that must occur before a setup qualifies.
- Expectancy
- An estimate of average result over a sample, accounting for the frequency and size of gains and losses and relevant costs.
- Drawdown
- A decline from an account or strategy's previous high to a later low.
- Slippage
- The difference between the expected execution price and the price actually received.
- Trading journal
- A record of context, planned actions, actual execution, outcome and rule adherence used for reflection.
