Trade Calculator preview: how would you set the stop?

by•

Trade Calculator puts a trade plan in a compact macOS panel: entry, stop, target and estimated profit or loss. It works with the numbers you enter; it does not connect to market feeds or trading accounts. This is a product preview.

Here is one made-up long stock trade in Trade Calculator: entry 30, default stop 3%, 100 shares, and risk:reward 1:3. Stop: 29.10. Target: 32.70. Estimated loss: 90. Estimated profit: 270. Estimates exclude fees, taxes and slippage; execution prices and returns are not guaranteed.

The default can be changed or turned off; a manual stop takes priority. How would you set the stop: a price or a percentage?

This preview copy and its explanatory graphics were prepared with AI assistance. The app screenshot comes from a native UI check using illustrative inputs.

Three price cards explain a hypothetical long stock trade using a 3% default stop and risk:reward 1:3.

Two calculation cards show estimated loss of 90 and estimated profit of 270 for 100 shares.

A question asks whether to set a stop by price or percentage beside the original English product panel.

I stay out of trading myself, since it's outside my field, so I can't tell you which is better. What I like is that it only works with the numbers you type in and never touches a market feed or an account. That makes it easy to trust.
