Estimate how far price must move to cover spread, commission, swap, and other entered costs for a forex position.
Enter or adjust the values, then select Calculate results.
One standard lot with a 1.2-pip spread, $10 pip value, and $7 round-turn commission has $19 total entered cost. It needs about 1.9 pips of favorable movement to reach estimated break-even.
Total costs = spread pips × lots × pip value per lot + commission + swap and other costs. Cost-recovery pips = total costs ÷ position pip value. Add the price movement for a long trade and subtract it for a short trade.
The trade must first recover spread and every other entered cost before net P&L reaches zero.
Only if you add an estimated slippage amount under other costs.
Yes. Swap accrual, partial closes, fees, conversion, and execution changes can move it.
