Trade Scenarios

Trade scenario calculator to compare trade setups

Generate a scenario grid by mixing different stop-loss distances, take-profit targets, and sizing inputs. Instantly review outcomes with realistic trading costs (fees, spread, slippage) — without showing formulas.

Built for disciplined risk management, strategy testing, and fast “what if?” planning.

Stop planning setups one by one

Spreadsheet-style planning slows you down. Trade Scenarios lets you generate a full matrix of outcomes at once, so you can compare risk/reward, net results, and cost impact before you commit capital.

Build multi-variable scenario grids in seconds—no repetitive manual work.

See how stop-loss and take-profit choices change R-multiples, net PnL, and trading costs across every combination.

Key features of Trade Scenarios

Generate, evaluate, and refine multiple trade outcomes in one place—optimized for fast comparison and clean decision-making.

Scenario grid generator

Generate a grid by mixing stop-loss distances, take-profit targets, and sizing inputs—then compare outcomes side-by-side.

Points Mode & Price Mode

Switch between distance-based inputs (points) and absolute price-based inputs while keeping your scenarios consistent.

Flexible position sizing

Choose risk-based sizing (fixed $ risk) or quantity-based sizing (fixed size) to view exposure from both perspectives.

Net PnL for every row

See net outcomes for every row with configurable costs: fees (maker/taker), spread, and slippage.

Editable scenario grid

Edit any row after generation—adjust risk, size, stop-loss, or take-profit to test “what if” changes instantly.

Export to CSV

Export scenario results to CSV for journals, playbooks, and deeper analysis in Excel or Google Sheets.

Two sizing modes (risk or quantity)

Start from a fixed dollar risk or a fixed position size—then generate the same scenario grid for easy comparison.

By Risk mode

Enter dollar risk amounts and stop-loss distances. The tool outputs the corresponding position size for each scenario.

Example: risk $50 with a 20-point stop-loss → position size is shown per scenario.

By Qty mode

Enter a fixed position size and stop-loss distances. The tool shows the implied dollar risk for each setup.

Example: 0.5 lot with a 20-point stop-loss → risk amount is shown per scenario.

Where Trade Scenarios fits in your workflow

Use Trade Scenarios as a standalone pre-trade planner, or pair it with other Trading Risk Lab tools.

Scenarios → Position Calculator

Generate scenario grids to compare setups, then validate your chosen setup in the Position Calculator for deeper margin and exposure details.

Scenarios → Projections

Export scenario results and use them to plan multi-leg entries in Projections with different risk tiers per leg.

Standalone or integrated

Use scenarios on their own to test "what if" setups, or combine with other tools for comprehensive trade planning.

FAQs about the Trade Scenarios tool

Common questions about scenario grids, sizing modes, and results.

A single-trade calculator evaluates one setup at a time. Trade Scenarios generates a full grid of setups—multiple stop-loss distances, take-profit targets, and sizing inputs—so you can compare outcomes across many “what if?” variations.
Yes. Export the scenario table to CSV for journaling, playbooks, reporting, or analysis in Excel or Google Sheets.
Yes. You can input distances as points (relative to entry) or use absolute prices. The tool keeps scenarios aligned so comparisons stay consistent.
Yes. The scenario grid is editable—change risk, quantity, stop-loss, or take-profit for any row and the displayed metrics update instantly.
Yes. Every scenario row includes net outcomes with configurable costs such as fees (maker/taker), spread, and slippage—so results reflect more realistic execution.
