Turn ticks moved into dollars, before the fill confirms it.
Every futures contract has its own tick value. Get the dollar P&L right before sizing the next trade, not after checking the statement.
P&L
Gross P&L before commissions and fees. Net it against real costs before trusting it.
The tool should change the next decision, not just return a number.
Each free tool is built as a small diagnostic. It gives the visitor a usable result, then points them toward the cockpit workflow where the same idea becomes saved history and review discipline.
P&L
Use the output as a review prompt, not a signal.
- Editable defaults: ES = $12.50/tick, NQ = $5.00/tick, YM = $5.00/tick, RTY = $5.00/tick, CL = $10.00/tick, GC = $10.00/tick. Always confirm current specs with your broker before sizing.
- This is gross P&L before commissions and fees. Pair it with the commission/breakeven calculator to see the net number.
- A negative ticks-moved value models a loss; the formula does not assume direction, only the sign entered.
Risk disclosure
This tool is educational. It does not place trades, recommend trades, or know your personal financial situation. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.

The free page is the front door. The cockpit is the operating system.
Free visitors should leave with value even if they never pay. When they want history, AI review, premium desks, or automation context, the dashboard becomes the next logical step.
The dashboard turns calculator output into a repeatable review workflow.
Conversion happens after demonstrated intent, not before value.
