Stocks guide

Stocks tools follow the life cycle of a position: evaluate entry, measure risk and reward, inspect an open position and simulate averaging or dividends.

Purchase analysis

Evaluate entry cost and exit scenarios before placing an order. Instrument price remains separate from the commissions entered.

Open tool

Position result

Starts from quantity and average price to estimate P/L at a sale price. Make sure the average price follows the convention requested by the tool.

Open tool

Risk and stop loss

Measures the loss if the stop were filled at the modelled price. A stop does not guarantee execution price during gaps or slippage.

Open tool

Risk/reward ratio

Compares planned loss to the stop with potential profit to the target. It does not tell you the probability of reaching the target.

Open tool

Average-price averaging

Simulates how another purchase changes average price and additional capital required. Lowering average price does not automatically reduce total risk.

Open tool

Net dividends and income

Estimates gross dividend, simplified tax, net amount and yield. A dividend is not free profit and price can react to the ex-dividend event.

Open tool

FORM REFERENCE

Every field explained

Each block matches one tool. Every field explains what it represents and what value belongs there. Prices and commissions stay separate so calculations remain readable and verifiable.

Purchase analysis

Open tool

Expected purchase price

Unit price at which you expect to buy the stock, excluding the broker’s normal trading commission.

Quantity

Number of position units. Stocks may be fractional where supported; contract quantities should be whole numbers.

Stop price

Price at which you plan to exit to limit loss. It is a simulation price: a real stop may fill worse after gaps or slippage.

Target price

Target price used to estimate potential profit or the result of a scenario.

Tax rate on profits

Tax percentage used by the simplified model on positive results. Enter the percentage number, for example 26 for 26%.

Desired net profit (optional)

Net profit you want to achieve. The tool works backwards to estimate the required price or result after modelled costs and tax.

Currency

Currency in which the tool expresses prices, costs and results.

Purchase commission

Total purchase cost used in the calculation. Enter an expected commission before the order or the actual commission after execution.

Sale commission

Total sale cost used in the calculation. For an executed trade, preferably use the broker's actual amount.

Position result

Open tool

Average execution price

Average execution/fill price excluding the historical purchase commission. When the tool provides for it, enter that cost separately in the commission field.

Average price (commission included)

Average unit price that already includes the purchase commission. Use it when this is the broker value you know and leave the execution-average field blank; Trade Math will not add another historical purchase commission.

Purchased quantity (fractions allowed)

Number of position units. Stocks may be fractional where supported; contract quantities should be whole numbers.

Expected sale price 1

Assumed unit sale price for that specific exit scenario.

Share to sell at price 1 (%)

Percentage of the position to sell in the scenario. Scenario percentages should represent the intended allocation of the total position.

Expected sale price 2

Assumed unit sale price for that specific exit scenario.

Share to sell at price 2 (%)

Percentage of the position to sell in the scenario. Scenario percentages should represent the intended allocation of the total position.

Expected sale price 3

Assumed unit sale price for that specific exit scenario.

Share to sell at price 3 (%)

Percentage of the position to sell in the scenario. Scenario percentages should represent the intended allocation of the total position.

Net dividends already received

Dividends already received from the position, used to reconstruct the total economic result already realised.

Expected future net dividends (optional)

Future dividends you choose to include in the simulation. They are assumptions, not guaranteed payments.

Tax rate (%)

Tax percentage used by the simplified model on positive results. Enter the percentage number, for example 26 for 26%.

Currency

Currency in which the tool expresses prices, costs and results.

Historical purchase commission

Total purchase commissions already paid to build the position. Leave it at zero when the entered average price already includes them.

Sale commission per order

Cost of each sale order. In a partial-exit plan it is applied separately to each planned exit.

Risk and stop loss

Open tool

Calculation mode

Calculation mode. It changes which inputs are required and which question the tool solves.

Stop price

Price at which you plan to exit to limit loss. It is a simulation price: a real stop may fill worse after gaps or slippage.

Alternative stop 2 (optional)

Optional second or third stop level for comparing several risk levels without changing the entry.

Alternative stop 3 (optional)

Optional second or third stop level for comparing several risk levels without changing the entry.

Purchased quantity (fractions allowed)

Portfolio value (optional)

Total capital or portfolio value against which you want to measure percentage risk.

Portfolio risk budget (%)

Percentage of the portfolio you are willing to risk on the trade.

Quantity increment

Smallest increment by which quantity may change in reverse calculations, such as 1 share or another instrument-compatible step.

Purchase commission

Total purchase cost used in the calculation. Enter an expected commission before the order or the actual commission after execution.

Sale commission at stop

Total sale cost used in the calculation. For an executed trade, preferably use the broker's actual amount.

Risk/reward ratio

Open tool

Entry price

Unit entry price of the position or trade being analysed.

Purchased quantity (fractions allowed)

Target price for one scenario. Multiple targets let you compare different risk/reward outcomes.

Target 2 (optional)

Target price for one scenario. Multiple targets let you compare different risk/reward outcomes.

Target 3 (optional)

Target price for one scenario. Multiple targets let you compare different risk/reward outcomes.

Tax rate on profits

Tax percentage used by the simplified model on positive results. Enter the percentage number, for example 26 for 26%.

Estimated win rate (optional)

Estimated percentage of winning trades used for statistical calculations such as expectancy. It is a probability estimate, not an expected return.

Purchase commission

Total purchase cost used in the calculation. Enter an expected commission before the order or the actual commission after execution.

Sale commission

Total sale cost used in the calculation. For an executed trade, preferably use the broker's actual amount.

Average price adjustment

Open tool
