Position Sizing for Futures

Proper position sizing is the foundation of every successful futures trading strategy. Whether you trade MES, MNQ, ES, or NQ, your contract count should always be derived from your account size and risk percentage — never guessed. This calculator gives you the exact number of contracts to trade based on your stop loss distance in ticks and the tick value of your instrument.

Prop Firm Drawdown Management

Prop firm evaluations have strict daily loss limits and maximum drawdown rules. The Prop Firm Drawdown Calculator helps you track exactly how much buffer you have left for the day and overall, so you never blow a funded account on a bad trading session. Built for FTMO, TopstepTrader, Apex, and similar evaluation structures.

Understanding Risk / Reward

A positive expected value requires the right combination of win rate and risk/reward ratio. Many traders overestimate their win rate or take trades with too low an R:R. Use this calculator to find your true breakeven win rate and see whether your edge holds up over 100 trades before risking real capital.

Trade Grading System

Not all setups are equal. DoubleUp Algo grades every signal A through D based on six confirmation factors: VWAP alignment, volume, Heikin Ashi candle quality, higher-timeframe bias, order block confluence, and daily VWAP position. Use this manual grader to evaluate any setup before you enter — then upgrade to the full indicator suite for automated grading on every bar.
