Build a closed or partially closed position

Enter futures fills and execution costs

Use one contract and one direction per scenario. This calculator applies average-cost realized P&L to entries opened before the listed exits. Put reversals in a separate scenario.

Scenario and contract

ES, NQ, MES, and MNQ are source-stamped CME presets. Custom specifications remain available when the registry expires or your contract is not listed.

Entry fills
Exit fills
Costs and optional buffer

All per-side values apply once to the allocated entry quantity and once to the exit quantity. Slippage is converted with the selected tick value. Other realized costs are one cash total.

Compare up to five scenarios

Execution scenario comparison

Formula, allocation, and trust contract
  • Average entry equals the quantity-weighted entry price. Realized gross P&L equals direction × (each exit price − average entry) × point value × exit quantity.
  • Average-cost attribution assumes every listed entry occurs before every listed exit. It is not FIFO, tax-lot accounting, a broker statement, or a reconstruction of a reversal.
  • Entry-side costs are allocated to closed quantity. Costs for remaining open entries are shown separately and are not subtracted from realized P&L until that quantity closes.
  • Break-even average exit equals average entry plus or minus realized cost per closed contract divided by point value. Actual fill sequencing and new costs can change it.
  • Prices must align to the selected tick grid. The calculator blocks over-exits, mixed-contract scenarios, non-whole contract quantities, stale presets, and malformed or extreme inputs.
  • The optional drawdown-buffer result is entered buffer plus net realized P&L. It does not model a firm's equity basis, daily reset, trailing floor, breach timing, or eligibility rule.
