Arithmetic, not advice. It plans a position from numbers you type — no market data, no view on any instrument. Two things to hold on to: the liquidation price is an optimistic estimate (flat maintenance margin, no fees, no funding, no tiering, and venues use a mark price), so never plan to sit near it; and margin allocation does not set your risk — the stop does. Two positions using the same 5% margin can risk wildly different amounts. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.

Crypto and forex in one tool

The difference between them is a single number. A crypto perp trades in units of the coin, so one contract is 1. A forex standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency. Set the contract size and everything else is identical — the size reads out in coins or in lots, and the risk is right either way.

The third target is solved, not typed

You choose how much to take off at TP1 and TP2 and at what R. The tool works out where TP3 has to sit for the whole plan to average the reward:risk you asked for:

tp3R = (target − w₁·tp1R − w₂·tp2R) ÷ w₃

At the defaults that lands on 4.125R, and the answer is often less comfortable than expected. Taking 30% off at 1.5R feels prudent, and it quietly obliges whatever is left to run much further before the plan is worth what you claimed. That trade-off is the point of showing it.

Two numbers to check before anything else

Stop clears liquidation by. If it is negative you are liquidated before your stop is ever reached, and the stop is decoration. Leverage tightens this faster than most people expect — the same trade at 50× can put liquidation inside the stop.

Risk as % of capital. Allocating 5% of the account as margin does not mean risking 5%. Margin sets your exposure; the stop sets your risk, and the two move independently. Two positions with identical margin can risk very different amounts.

About the liquidation price

It is the standard isolated-margin formula with a flat maintenance margin rate, and every real venue is harsher: the rate is tiered and climbs with position size, fees and funding are charged against your margin, the trigger is a mark price rather than the last trade, and cross margin reaches into the rest of your balance. Treat it as the most optimistic estimate available, and never as a level to plan around.
