Profit Calculator

How profit and loss is calculated

For a buy (long) trade you profit when the exit price is above the entry price. For a sell (short) trade you profit when the exit price is below the entry. The result is:

P/L = (exit − entry) × contract size × lots (reversed for a short), in the pair's quote currency, then converted to your account currency.

Example

You buy 1 lot of EUR/USD at 1.0850 and sell at 1.0900. That's a 50-pip move × $10 per pip = $500 profit, before costs.

Don't forget trading costs

• Spread: you buy at the ask and sell at the bid.
• Commission on a Raw Spread account.
• Overnight financing if you hold past the daily rollover.

Use the calculator to plan targets and to compare how a trade would look on different account types.
