Foysal Mostafa

I'm Foysal Mostafa — a forex trader and software developer. I started trading forex in 2019 and quickly learned that the difference between profitable and unprofitable traders often comes down to one thing: consistent position sizing and risk management.

For years I relied on spreadsheets I built myself — one for position size, one for pip value, another for risk-reward. They worked, but every time I switched pairs or changed my account balance I had to re-enter everything manually. One wrong cell reference and my risk calculations would be off.

I built TradeCalc to replace those spreadsheets. The goal was simple: a set of fast, accurate calculators that any trader can use before placing a trade, with no account required and no fluff. Every calculator on this site is something I use in my own trading.

All content on TradeCalc is written from hands-on experience. The guides in the blog reflect real lessons from real trading — not generic financial advice. Every formula is cross-verified against broker platforms and industry standards.
