Quick answers to the most common questions about our free calculators and the premium trading dashboard. Can't find an answer? Reach out on X at @tradecalculated.
Calculated Trading provides free crypto futures calculators: a Crypto Volume Monitor, a Leverage / Position Size calculator, a Take Profit Size calculator, and an "Actual final RR" calculator, plus a paid premium dashboard that automates that math when you place orders and manages your take-profits and stop-losses for you across multiple exchanges.
No. All four free tools (Crypto Volume Monitor, Leverage / Position Size, Take Profit Size, and the Actual final RR calculator) are available directly on the homepage without signing up.
The free Crypto Volume Monitor tracks 24-hour volume for BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT across Binance, Bybit, OKX, BloFin and Kraken. The premium dashboard supports live futures trading on Blofin, Phemex and OKX from a single interface (more exchanges coming soon).
Yes. API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-CBC using a key that only our server backend holds, they are never displayed back to you, and they are decrypted only in memory when the trade engine needs to sign a request. Key material is never stored or transmitted in plain text.
No. The platform only requests read and trading permissions, never withdrawal permissions. We recommend enabling only trading (and read) access on your exchange and keeping withdrawal disabled, the platform cannot move funds off your exchange account.
Enable contract/futures trading and read access, and disable withdrawal. Each exchange is slightly different (for example, OKX requires a passphrase and lets you choose your region and position mode). The dashboard includes a step-by-step API Key Guide for Blofin, Phemex and OKX.
To place and manage orders on your behalf: entries, stop-losses, and multiple limit take-profits, and to stream your live balances, positions and orders back to the dashboard. Read-only keys let you view data but cannot place the automated orders that the premium interface is built around.
The dashboard works out the leverage so that your net loss equals the risk % you set. The calculation includes trading fees (0.07% by default) and is capped at the exchange's maximum for the pair or the platform's 50x cap, whichever is lower.
It converts your risk % into the amount you are willing to lose (risk % \u00d7 account size) and then sizes the position so that a full stop-loss move equals that amount, including fees. A "smaller account size" mode lets you size against a separate amount instead of your full balance.
You enter an entry price, a stop-loss, and one or more take-profit levels, each with its own size, and it combines them into a single overall ("final") risk-to-reward ratio: your weighted total profit % divided by your stop-loss %. Fees (0.07% by default) are subtracted when the toggle is on.
0.07% is a typical default maker fee across the supported exchanges. The toggle is there so you can set it off to match your exchange fee tier.
You enter your entry price, stop-loss, risk %, and optional take-profit levels before the position is opened. The platform auto-sizes the order so your maximum loss equals your risk %, the entry is placed post-only, and the moment the entry fills, the pre-set limit take-profits are placed automatically.
To avoid the taker fee on the entry fill, because post-only orders add liquidity instead of taking it.
It simply stays on the exchange' order book until it fills. You can see it among your live orders in the dashboard, you receive email notifications, and you can edit or cancel it at any time.
Yes. From the dashboard you can market-close an open position, edit or replace its take-profit and stop-loss, and place an additional limit take-profit on an open position.
Yes. Leverage is capped at the exchange's maximum for that pair or 50x.
Nothing changes on your exchange account: your positions, orders and funds live on the exchange, not on Calculated Trading. The platform simply stops placing new automated orders. You can keep managing your positions directly on the exchange.
