How to add it to your site
- Copy the code Use the copy button in the Embed code box so nothing is lost to line wrapping. It is a single iframe tag and it does not need anything else.
- Open the page you want it on In WordPress add a Custom HTML block, in Wix use the Embed HTML element, in Squarespace use a Code block, and on a hand-built site paste it straight into your HTML.
- Paste and publish The widget appears immediately. If you see an empty space instead, your editor has stripped the iframe tag, which the HTML embed guide explains how to work around.
- Adjust the look if you want to Add the parameters in the table below to the iframe URL to change the theme, the accent colour or the height. Nothing needs to be configured on our side.
Customisation options
| Parameter | Values | What it does |
|---|---|---|
theme | auto, light, dark | Default follows the reader's own system setting, so the widget looks right on a dark site and a light one without you choosing. |
accent | Six hex digits, e.g. accent=1A56DB | Recolours the header bar and the primary button to match your brand. |
header | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the title bar when your page already has a heading above the widget. |
breakdown | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the calculation breakdown for a more compact block. |
corners | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 for square corners if your design has no rounding anywhere else. |
width | full | Removes the 520px maximum so the widget stretches to its container. |
Parameters are added to the iframe URL as a normal query string, for example
/embed/break-even-price-calculator.html?theme=dark&accent=1A56DB&header=0. The
widget builder lets you set all of them visually and hands you the finished code.
Why embed the Break-Even Price Calculator
Every trade starts underwater by the spread and commission, and most beginners do not know by how much. This widget turns entry price, spread and fees into the exact price the market has to reach before the trade is flat. It works well in posts about trading costs, scalping or why tiny targets rarely pay.
What the widget calculates
This calculator works out the exact price your trade needs to reach to cover the spread and any commission, the true break-even point, before your position is even in genuine profit.
Enter your entry price, the spread and commission costs, and your direction, and the calculator returns your precise break-even price.
The embedded version keeps the inputs and the result. The full Break-Even Price Calculator on TradeAnswers adds worked examples, the method behind the numbers and a long FAQ.
Who this widget suits
Trading education sites
Drop it into a lesson on risk management so readers can test the concept immediately instead of reading the formula and moving on.
Finance blogs and newsletters
A working tool in a post gives readers a reason to return to that page, which tends to help both time on page and repeat visits.
Course and membership pages
Embed it in a module on money management. It works inside most course platforms that allow a raw HTML block.
