Grid-Risk Simulator
Grids win small and lose big. This simulator shows the losing side on purpose: what happens to your balance if price runs against the grid, level by level, with no take-profit saving you.
Your grid
How to read this table
The scenario is deliberately harsh and deliberately simple: price moves against the grid from the first entry, triggers every level, and runs one full spacing beyond the deepest level — with no take-profit, no hedge and no intervention. Each row shows the loss if the run stops at that depth. Formula for the loss at depth n: sum over every open level i of (lot at level i × distance in pips from that level's entry to the stopping price × $10 per pip per standard lot), where lot at level i = base lot × multiplieri and the distance is (n − i) spacings. Assumes a USD-quote pair; spreads, commissions, swap and margin calls are not modelled — in real life they make the outcome worse, not better.
Why this matters beyond grids: the same “stop first, size second” discipline is what the position-size calculator enforces. Read the reasoning in Position sizing for algo traders →
This simulator shows loss scenarios only. It never promises profits, and it cannot model your broker's margin-call behaviour. Educational tool, not financial advice.
