How is profit or loss calculated in Forex trading?

Profit or loss is calculated based on the difference between the entry and exit prices of the trade, multiplied by the trade size. If the exit price is higher than the entry price for a long position, you'll make a profit, and vice versa. For a short position, you'll make a profit if the exit price is lower than the entry price.

Here's the general formula for calculating profit or loss:

Profit/Loss = (Close Price - Open Price) x Contract Size.

For example, if you buy EUR/USD at 1.1000 and sell at 1.1500, the difference in price is 0.05. If the volume of the trade was one standard lot (100,000 units), the profit would be calculated as follows.

0.05 x 100,000 = 5,000. This means that the profit from this trade would be $5,000.
