Pro Tip

Always calculate your potential loss before a trade. If the loss exceeds your risk tolerance, reduce position size or widen your stop loss.

Profit/Loss Formula

The profit or loss formula depends on your trade direction:

For Buy (Long) Trades:

P/L = (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Contract Size

For Sell (Short) Trades:

P/L = (Entry Price - Exit Price) × Contract Size

Example: Buying 1 standard lot of EUR/USD at 1.0850, closing at 1.0900:

  • Price Difference: 1.0900 - 1.0850 = 0.0050
  • Pips: 0.0050 ÷ 0.0001 = 50 pips
  • Profit: 0.0050 × 100,000 = $500
