Trade Calculator

Although money can’t buy happiness, it does everything else. Transactions are done on a daily basis of unimaginable amounts. Somewhere along the way, a certain percentage goes to the source, and with applications like Trade Calculator you can easily check profit, loss, change in price, and more for your transactions.

Among a few advantages it has, the application requires no installation, which also means you can easily carry it around on an USB flash drive to use on other computers as well, or just to keep it close to your financial files. This also keeps the target PC clean, since registries are not tampered with.

The application hasn’t been updated in quite some time, and the visual style and preference leaves a lot more to be desired, even if aesthetics are not the primary feature. In spite of the rough visuals, all fields you need to fill in and what they mean are pretty intuitive, and even an inexperienced individual can calculate a loss or profit in a matter of seconds.

The whole process consists of specifying a buying price, amount, as well as the price tag you plan on selling it. Based on these values, you get to see total buying price, required bank balance, total selling amount, profit or loss, as well as change in price, shown in percentage. Brokerage percentage has its own field, with the possibility to modify the default value according to your scenario.

However, there aren’t any options to set, such as currency, or any dependencies of it whatsoever. What’s more, there’s no possibility to run advanced calculus, or save results to file to keep a history of trade changes in price. All values need to be manually copied from their fields in case values are needed in other documents or applications.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Trade Calculator is a simple, straightforward calculator that helps you plan your future transactions. Even if it hasn’t been updated in quite some time, and the visuals don’t appeal to everyone, the whole process is intuitive, easy to put in motion, and results displayed in real time.
