Why run the numbers first
Know your size before the evaluation. See exactly how many lots your simulated balance can carry – before a mis-sized first trade costs you a challenge fee.
Build in the 40% buffer. The conservative ceiling leaves free margin for open-trade drawdown, so one position never pins your whole account.
Same maths as your MT5 account. Contract size, leverage and quote currency work identically on the simulated evaluation – practise the arithmetic here, apply it there.

- Pip
- The smallest standard price increment for a given instrument. Most forex pairs move in 0.0001 increments.
- Lot Size
- A standardized trade size. In forex, 1 standard lot equals 100,000 units of the base currency.
- Margin
- The virtual capital required to open and maintain a leveraged position, shown as a percentage of notional value.
- Leverage
- A multiplier that lets you control a larger notional position with a smaller margin. Higher leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
- Swap
- An overnight financing adjustment applied when a leveraged position is held past the daily rollover.

FAQ
Margin is the slice of your account balance that gets locked as collateral while a leveraged position is open. It is calculated as contract size × price ÷ leverage: one lot of EUR/USD (100,000 units) at 1.18 with 1:30 leverage locks roughly $3,940. The margin is released the moment you close the position – it is not a cost, but it limits how many trades you can hold at once.
CFD Calculator – Calculate Profit, Loss & Margin for Any Trade
The NEOM Funded CFD Calculator is a comprehensive trading tool that lets you calculate profit, loss, pip value, and margin requirements for any Contract for Difference (CFD) instrument. Whether you are trading forex pairs or metals such as gold and silver, this calculator provides the precise figures you need to manage your simulated funded evaluation account with confidence.
What Does the CFD Calculator Do?
A CFD (Contract for Difference) is a derivative product that tracks the price of an underlying asset without requiring you to own it. Because CFDs are traded on margin with leverage, it is critical to understand the exact financial implications of each trade before you open it. The NEOM Funded CFD Calculator computes:
- Profit & Loss: Enter your opening price, closing price, and position size to see your exact profit or loss in your account currency (USD).
- Pip Value: Know exactly how much each pip or point movement is worth for your specific position size and instrument.
- Margin Required: Calculate the margin needed to open your position at the available leverage level, ensuring you have sufficient free margin.
- Swap Rates: View overnight financing charges for positions held beyond the trading day.
Why Participants Need a CFD Calculator
In prop trading, precision is not optional – it is essential. Funded accounts have strict drawdown limits, and a miscalculated position size can result in unnecessary losses or even account termination. The CFD Calculator eliminates guesswork by providing exact figures based on real market parameters. Before every trade, professional funded Participants verify their position size, margin usage, and potential loss to ensure compliance with their trading rules.
How to Use the CFD Calculator
Using the calculator is straightforward. Select the instrument category (forex or metals), choose the specific asset, enter your account size and leverage, input your entry and exit prices, and the calculator instantly returns your profit, loss, pip value, and margin figures. Run multiple scenarios with different position sizes to find the optimal trade size for your risk management plan.
Integrate With Your Trading Strategy
Use the CFD Calculator as part of your pre-trade checklist alongside our Position Size Calculator and Risk-Reward Calculator. This ensures every trade you place on your simulated funded evaluation account is properly sized, within acceptable risk limits, and aligned with your Evaluation Benchmarks. Start your trading challenge with confidence knowing your numbers are accurate.
