Profit Calculator

This is how to use the profit calculator

• Select the symbol to trade
• Choose the direction, buy or sell
• Select the opening price
• Select the closing price
• Enter the trade size, in lots
• Enter your accounts base currency

Then click calculate.

Here is an example how profit (or loss) is calculated

• EURUSD is the symbol to be traded
• The direction is buy
• At the rate of exchange of 1.2000
• And close the trade at 1.2100
• 1 lot is to be traded
• The accounts base currency is denominated in USD

The profit (or loss) will be calculated as;

The difference between the buy and sell price (1.2100 – 1.2000) = 0.01.

Then multiplied by the lot size, so;

(0.01) X 100,000 = the potential profit and that would be $1,000.

However if the closing price is worse than the buy price, then the loss would be the equivalent amount.

If the account’s base currency is denominated in EUR, then $1,000 would have to be converted to the EUR equivalent at the current EURUSD rate of exchange.
