The TRADE90 Mission
Built by a Veteran. Tested by FTMO. Used by US Funded Traders.
Most traders fail not because their strategy is wrong. They fail because their math is wrong.
TRADE90 was founded after passing the FTMO funded trading evaluation and realizing that the single hardest part of the process was not finding setups — it was sizing them correctly under psychological pressure. A calculator that runs the math before every trade removes that pressure entirely.
The result is a free institutional-grade position sizing tool that works across 45+ instruments — Forex, Gold (XAU/USD), US Indices (NAS100, US30), and Crypto — calibrated to the exact pip values and contract specifications of every major prop firm evaluation environment.
Verified Background
- ✔ FTMO Funded Trader Passed the FTMO 2-phase evaluation. 10% profit target reached within 28 trading days at 0.5% risk per trade.
- ✔ 10-Year US Military Veteran Decade of service instilled the discipline framework that underlies the TRADE90 risk management system: defined rules, no deviations, consistent execution.
- ✔ Active US-Based Trader Trading Forex, Gold, and US indices from the United States since 2015. Understands the specific regulatory constraints, tax implications, and prop firm access issues that affect American traders.
The Risk Framework Behind Every Tool
Every calculator and every piece of analysis on TRADE90 is built around the same core principle: the 1% rule — specifically, the institutional standard of risking 0.5% or less per trade.
This is not an arbitrary number. It is derived from the maximum drawdown rules of every major prop firm evaluation. FTMO's 10% maximum drawdown means that at 0.5% risk per trade, you can absorb 20 consecutive losses before failing — a statistical near-impossibility that gives your edge enough room to work.
The Core Equation
Lot Size = (Account Balance × Risk%) ÷ (Stop Loss in Pips × Pip Value per Lot)
That formula is what every professional trader runs before every trade. TRADE90 automates it for every instrument, account size, and stop distance — so you spend your time analyzing setups, not doing arithmetic.
