Set your stop. Get your contract count — instantly. Stop Loss in Ticks — Enter how many ticks your stop is from entry. The fastest mode for scalpers who think in ticks. If you trade NQ and your stop is 8 ticks, just type 8. Done. Stop Loss in Points — Enter your stop distance in full points. Works perfectly for swing traders and anyone using point-based support and resistance levels. Stop Loss by Price — Enter your exact entry price and your stop price. The calculator figures out the tick distance automatically and gives you your contract count. All three modes update your contract count, dollar risk, tick risk, and point risk in real time. No submit button. No loading. Instant math every time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 14 FUTURES INSTRUMENTS — EVERY SPEC BUILT IN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Every instrument ships with the correct tick size and dollar value per tick.
