What Kind of Trader Are You?
1 of 4 — You lose two trades in a row. Are you taking a third?
Run the Numbers Before You Risk Them
Every calculator below is arithmetic on the numbers you type — not a forecast, and nothing it shows has been achieved by PJ Trades, by a member, or by anyone. Most traders lose money.
📈 Growth Simulator
Repeats the daily gain you type for the number of days you set, so you can see what that arithmetic adds up to.
This tool does arithmetic on the numbers you type. It is not a forecast, and no figure it shows has been achieved by PJ Trades, by a member, or by anyone. A fixed daily dollar target is not a trading edge: markets do not pay a set amount per day, losing days and losing weeks are normal, and the tool ignores losses, drawdown, commissions, slippage, taxes and prop-firm rules. Results are not typical and most traders lose money.
📏 Sizing Simulator
Enter contracts and stop loss to see total $ at risk — or a $ amount to see how many contracts it buys.
🎯 Futures Tick Calc
NQ · ES · MNQ · MES · YM · RTY — real contract math.
🛡️ Prop Risk Guard
Shows how many full-size losses, at the risk you type, would use up the loss limit you type.
📊 Options Lab
From options basics — calls, puts, strikes, expiration — up through advanced gamma exposure (GEX): worked scenarios, where to get real-time GEX data, and how to translate it into QQQ/NQ and SPY/ES intraday.
