Entry on your initial investment.

This depends on your:
  1. Buy price
  2. Position size - which could be the number of shares or vice versa, the total value of the initial investment. If you go by total value, our calculator will automatically calculate the number of shares you can purchase.
  3. Next, can enter the buying commission that your broker would charge. Again, the calculator is flexible and allows you to either enter a percentage-based commission or flat fee-based commission.

Formula to calculate Entry Price/Buying Price

Initial Capital = (BP x PS) + (BC)

BP = Buying price

PS = Position size

BC = Buying Commission

Exit on your Target Price

This depends on your:

  1. Target price - The amount/share price you wish to sell your stock investments.

  2. Stop Loss - this is the price; you would sell your stock to exit out of your position if the trade does not go according to plan. This is your risk management plan to preserve your capital.

  3. Selling Commission- A fee your broker would charge when you're selling stocks on the stock market.

  4. Capital at Target Price/Sell Price- This is the value of the total investment at your desired sell share price after your initial investment.

Formula to calculate Exit Price/Selling price

Capital at Target = (TP x PS) - (SC)

TP = Target price

SP = Selling price

PS = Position size

SC = Selling commission
