Why these six

Every one answers a question that comes up when the same trade runs on several accounts of different sizes. Position size and tick value decide what a signal becomes on each account. Drawdown recovery and the consistency rule are the two prop-firm constraints that end accounts quietly. Risk to reward and expectancy are the arithmetic behind whether a strategy is worth copying at all.

The results are arithmetic, not advice. If a number here surprises you, the formula is on the page so you can check it.

Questions

Common questions

Short answers to what traders ask first. Anything else, the Help Center has it.

Are the calculators free?

Yes. They run entirely in your browser, store nothing and need no account.

Do they work for micro contracts?

Yes. The position size and tick value calculators include MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL and the other CME micros.

Where do the contract values come from?

CME Group contract specifications. Tick sizes and multipliers change rarely, but check the exchange page before relying on a figure for a live order.

Can I use them for a prop-firm evaluation?

That is what they are for. The consistency and drawdown calculators take the firm's limits as inputs so you can size inside them.
