What to enter, and the terms used

A pip is the unit for price moves. For most pairs it is 0.0001; for JPY pairs such as USD/JPY it is 0.01.

Example: enter this, get this
- Pair: EUR/USD, buy
- Entry price: 1.0850
- Stop loss: 20 pips, take profit: 30 pips
For a buy, the stop is 1.0850 − 20 × 0.0001 = 1.08300 and the target is 1.0850 + 30 × 0.0001 = 1.08800. Reward : risk is 30 ÷ 20 = 1.50 : 1. For a sell, the stop goes above the entry and the target below.
The example numbers only show how the calculation works. They are not recommendations. Replace them with your own account’s numbers, or use “Clear inputs”.Where do I find these numbers?
- Entry price
- The current price in the order window. For open positions, the Price column in the Trade tab
- Where to enter them
- The S/L (stop loss) and T/P (take profit) boxes in the order window, or when you modify a position
The mobile app and platforms other than MT4/MT5 may use different names or places (for example, “Units” or “Lot size” for contract size). If you cannot find a number, check your broker’s help pages.
How it works
- Buy: stop = entry − distance × pip size, target = entry + distance × pip size
- Sell: the signs flip.
- Stops and targets are triggered by the bid for a buy and the ask for a sell. Because of the spread, a stop can be reached a little earlier and a target a little later.
FAQ
Does this tool tell me where to put my stop?
No. Enter the distance from your own rules.
How do I enter gold?
Enter the stop as a price distance in USD. For example, $5 below entry is 5.
